Sorghum Syrup | Handcrafted, Amish-Made
Our delicious Sorghum Syrup is a true farm-to-table treasure, handmade by our dear Amish neighbors using sorghum they grow on their Farm, using better-than-organic growing methods. Every batch of this syrup is carefully crafted using traditional method, preserving the time-honored skills and practices passed down through generations. The result is a rich, nutrient-dense syrup with a deep, earthy sweetness and a distinctive flavor you won’t find in any commercial/mass-produced product.
THE TRADITIONAL METHOD OF SORGHUM SYRUP MAKING:
The process of making sorghum syrup is a sincere labor of love that requires steady patience and skill. It begins with harvesting the sorghum cane at its peak, to ensure optimal sweetness. The stalks are then pressed to extract their juice, which is the simmered slowly in open pans over a wood fire. This traditional, slow-cooking process allows the syrup to thicken naturally and develop its unique flavor with zero additives or preservatives.
One of the magical elements of this traditional, on-farm-crafted method is the wood fired preparation, which adds a subtle depth and warmth to the syrup that simply cannot be replicated with modern, mass production. As the syrup simmers, the heat infuses the sorghum with a rich, caramel-like complexity that enhances its natural sweetness. The careful attention to every step of the process gives the syrup a special quality that speaks solely to the unique craftsmanship of the Amish.
