Dan likes it in his oatmeal. :)<br /><br />Oh, Brittany, the house smelled divine all day!<br /><br />Mama Pea, you've never had a crock pot?!?!? I have three! Dan swears they could make shoe leather tender, LOL. Perfect for soups! And cooking down sauce, and cooking less tender pieces of meat. And making the house smell heavenly for hours on end. :)<br /><br />DFW, agreed!<br /><br />the Goodwife, you are fortunate to have a local source! I find that in baking, sorghum (and molasses) help keep baked goods from drying out so quickly. <br /><br />Jake, thank you for that! Barb, are you following the comments? I seem to recall that the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed catalog give good growing locations for many of it's varieties of sorghum. I have a piggy bank labeled "sorghum press" and I'm hoping to someday be able to buy one to make our own.

When we were living in Maryland a couple years ago, there were a few fields around, and my grandparents said they used to grow it in Wisconsin back in the 1940s. I think there's still an operation near Elkhart Lake, WI that grows it and makes syrup.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302653400986920552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-53665304239328630222014-11-14T13:13:19.057-05:002014-11-14T13:13:19.057-05:00I love, love, love sorghum!

I substitute it for at least half the brown sugar in most of my baking.

Now, of course, there is the Boer breed which sounds even more enticing if one is planning on using the culls for personal meat supply.<br /><br />You may rightfully label me a real dum-dum as I have never learned to use a crock pot! Doesn't make sense for our lifestyle when, as you say, we're often outside all day and coming in to delicious aromas in the house and a luscious ready-to-serve meal would be wonderful. (I guess that's why I rely on my simmering soups so much.) Maybe with a little prodding (by someone with a big stick) I will finally learn crock pot cooking this winter!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-49374600942923228032014-11-14T10:14:20.730-05:002014-11-14T10:14:20.730-05:00That looks scrumptious...when are they going to in...That looks scrumptious...when are they going to invent smellivision?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842761628328461778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-74946813176496291132014-11-14T10:05:43.613-05:002014-11-14T10:05:43.613-05:00Leigh,

I'm going to have to stock up on some now that I know a bit more about it.

With modern transportation, however, it just may be!<br /><br />Kev, thanks. :)<br /><br />Barb, sorghum syrup on bacon sounds super yummy! The plant is traditionally grown in the south, from Texas to Tennessee and beyond. I think it may have originated in Africa, if I'm recalling correctly. It likes heat. I have grown a couple of experimental garden beds of it and it did well. I've used the grain for feeding the chickens and goats. Syrup, however, requires a roller press and cooking vats. That's the deterrent!<br /><br />Renee, another play? Sounds like slow cooker time for you for sure. :)<br />Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-69178679628182277062014-11-14T09:14:06.874-05:002014-11-14T09:14:06.874-05:00I love sorghum syrup.
