[Syrupmakers] Getting Started With Sorghum

[Sheri Ann Richerson]

Hi. I have planted my first sorghum this year. I am needing to find a way to
juice it and was told I could use a juicer. I only planted one packet of
seed just so I could try the process and find out what it was like and if we
liked sorghum syrup. A friend suggested there might be someone in the area
(Central Indiana) that would be able to juice it for me for a cost. I might
also be interested in simply purchasing the equipment, again depending on
cost. 

 

I do have a 75 gallon cast iron pot I was going to use to cook it down. If I
understand correctly I cook it until it turns amber and is thick. Is this
correct? I would use canning jars (pints) to bottle it then. What is the
process for sealing the jars? 

 

Sorry to hit everyone with so many questions right off the bat but the
sorghum is growing and I know time is short.

 

Thanks so much!

Sheri
