Now if we just had our own bees...someday soon I hope. I'm going to make sugar out of beets one of these years...just to see.:)Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-73656082997086199422011-02-05T12:42:24.963-05:002011-02-05T12:42:24.963-05:00hi Heather!

Wouldnt want anyone to end up in the ER.. but then.. you'd have a whole batch of cookies for yourself. Genius! <br /><br />Five gallons! Can you believe it GW? We did better than some folks. The beez in general are still struggling but we were glad with how ours did. I have not done sorghum.. but I will this year. <br /><br />BABL: sometimes you have to look carefully for "cane sugar" if not its beets. But sure you can grow your own!<br /><br />Thanks Ian! I fixed the link<br />:-)<br /><br />Aint that right, Chai Chai. We aren't as industrious as Mr H but we save a lot of seeds. And we strive for "real" varieties that we can keep growing from year to year. The chocolate thing is troubling. Its all fun and games until 150 million US women dont get their chocolate. I'm stocking up just in case.Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-82586067831491556052011-02-05T11:52:12.504-05:002011-02-05T11:52:12.504-05:00This post starts out with doom (sugar shortage) an...This post starts out with doom (sugar shortage) and ends with gloom (chocolate cocoa shortage). Genetically modified seeds that don't reproduce and have to be bought yearly is great if the system runs smoothly, but it will be a disaster if hard times ever return. No local seeds means no local food.Chai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845100961653150736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-49477752411476387862011-02-05T11:45:09.729-05:002011-02-05T11:45:09.729-05:00Thanks for the recipe.

I want to know how to do this on a very small scale at home. My grandfather used to make it but he had a big draft horse powered press, which I don't have. Can you give me the skinny?Mama Messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09541998872594946053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-70898319766809918282011-02-05T10:56:00.127-05:002011-02-05T10:56:00.127-05:00Okay I'm checking the label on my sugar bags. ...Okay I'm checking the label on my sugar bags. Right now!.......<br /><br /><br />Okay I checked. Guess what it's made of? Sugar. Right, sugar! It doesn't say cane or beets.

Thatssalotta honey! You make it sound much easier than I've heard. I too think less is more and like low maintenance critters. Hmmmm, to continue perusing my bee books..........Mama Messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09541998872594946053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-52799211234178014272011-02-05T09:33:15.447-05:002011-02-05T09:33:15.447-05:00Oh I LOVE this- thank you so much for sharing this...Oh I LOVE this- thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
