(34,120 posts)27. If it weren't green but black, it could be my molasses
I have a big jar of Slow As Molasses (brand name) blackstrap molasses. It's about 40 years old and I'm down to the last quarter cup of it. I ran out of brown sugar for my baking this week and you can make brown sugar by adding one tablespoon of molasses to one cup of regular sugar.
But this stuff is thick - I had to hold the jar upside down for minutes to get any out. I felt as though that was a segment out of that video!
