Prepacked in a handy glass jar, Blackstrap molasses, also known as black treacle, is a thick, dark syrup that is extracted from mature sugar cane. The cane is crushed to make cane juice which is then boiled to extract the sucrose or sugar ‘crystals’. The juice is boiled again to make molasses, then a third time to produce concentrated Blackstrap Molasses.
