Organic Fairtrade Blackstrap Molasses 350g

Organic Fairtrade Blackstrap Molasses is a rich, dark syrup made during the sugar cane refining process, where the concentrated molasses is separated from the sugar. It has a deep, treacle-like flavour and is especially useful in baking where you want warmth, colour and a fuller sweetness than refined sugar alone can provide.

It works particularly well in gingerbread, malt loaf, fruit cakes, sticky cakes, biscuits, baked beans, marinades and savoury-sweet sauces. It is also used by some people as a daily spoonful or stirred into hot water, though on BakeryBits I would keep the emphasis mainly on baking and kitchen use.

This is a natural, unsulphured product and the consistency may vary a little from jar to jar. The 350g jar is a practical size for home bakers who want blackstrap molasses on hand for occasional baking and cooking.
