This is a demonstration of how farmers made molasses from sorghum cane in the 18th Century at las Golondrinas: 1) They prepared the sorghum cain by cutting the seed heads off the ends of the canes. 2) They harnessed their ass to a long pole connected to a big iron crusher. 3) They walked their ass in circles turning the crusher, while a person fed sorghum cane into the crusher to extract the sugary juice from the cane. 4) They cooked the sorghum extract and reduced it to molasses.









Oh wow asses and molasses I like these! Funny title made me look instantly I had to see! 😄
Thanks, Michelle! Catchy titles are good draws. I hope you weren’t disappointed? It was a really nice ass. When they guy walked by me with the mule in tow, I told him he had a cute ass. He agreed 😉
Yes totally wonderful photos. This is my kind of ass. I prefer to see these types photos as opposed to the others. LOL I love your photos as always! I’ve been so busy I haven’t been reading or on your blog much but I plan to read some today! 😀 Have a super day!
Oh cool this is a great post and I really enjoyed this.
Thanks!
That’s some educational center there! What do they do with the finished products of the various demos?
I think they sell a lot of the stuff they make. I don’t know what they did with the molasses.
Clever, funny and great use of an ass! 🙂 Wait asses!
Thanks!
Excellent and fascinating post. Love the pictures:)
Thanks, Janet!
Great title and that last shot is a nice one 🙂
Thanks!
Definitely a great hook with the title. 😀 It really is fascinating though. I love to see how things were done in bygone days. Hugs.
Thanks, Teagan! Seeing how they had to do things in the old days makes me appreciate only having to go to the store to buy a jar of molasses.
