Summer 2009 Memories: A Sorghum Festival

In late summer our family attended a demonstration of sorghum processing...a sorghum festival.


After peeling back the leathery skin of a sorghum piece, it can be chewed like gum as Grace discovered.

Pressing the canes into syrup



Removing any impurities,



and cooking it down.
