Muddy Pond Sorghum Mill - Pure Sorghum Syrup - No Additives, Non-GMO and Gluten Free 48oz
100% PURE SORGHUM SYRUP: Our sorghum is 100% pure, with no additives and made from our own sorghum cane that we plant each year. Our syrup is Non-GMO and Gluten Free. We are longtime members of the National Sweet Sorghum Producers and Processors Association (NSSPPA)
HEALTH BENEFITS: Unlike sugar which is 100% empty calories devoid of nutrition, you can expect some nutritive value from a purely natural sweetener like sorghum. Before multivitamins, doctors sometimes prescribed sorghum syrup to help folks get necessary iron, calcium, and potassium
NATURAL SWEETENER: Our syrup is delicious on pancakes, waffles, hot biscuits, cornmeal mush, grits, and other hot cereals. It can be used as a cooking ingredient with a similar sweetening effect as molasses
A FAMILY LEGACY OF EXELLENCE: Muddy Pond Sorghum has won many awards and honors. We have won 1st or placed in the top 10 of the NSSPPA sorghum syrup contest most every year. We were named the “2012 Made in America - American Treasures Award Winner
MADE IN THE USA: Since the 1980s Muddy Pond Sorghum Mill’s mission has been to offer 100% pure sorghum syrup with no additives. We farm, harvest, and process our sorghum in Monterey Tennessee to ensure the quality our consumers expect and deserve
Deep in the hills of Tennessee, midway between Nashville and Knoxville lies a little community called Muddy Pond. During September and Ocotber, you can smell the aroma of fresh made sorghum syrup being made by the Guenther family. Stop by the Muddy Pond Sorghum Mill and watch step by step as sorghum syrup is being made. You can taste the syrup while it is still warm and purchase some to take home with you. You can watch the horses walk around the cane mill as the juice is being squeezed out of the sorghum cane. You may hear the train whistle blow as the wood fired, steam locomotive boiler makes the steam that boils the juice down to syrup. After making sorghum syrup since the mid 1960's with others in the community, Several of the grandchildren can be seen filling containers and labeling jars. As the years have passed and the demand for sorghum has increased, we have gone from cutting the cane by hand, with a machete, to harvesting with a machine. We now have a cane cutting machine that is self-propelled. It deheads the cane, cuts it off at the ground, then chops the stalks into short pieces and blows the leaves out. Then the pieces of cane are dropped into a press that squeezes out the juice and pumps it into a tank that is pulled behind the machine. The tank of juice is taken to the sorghum mill and pumped into a holding tank. It is preheated overnight, and early the next morning we start boiling it. The juice is cooked in a 22 x 8 foot evaporator pan. It is heated by steam produced by a wood fired, steam locomotive boiler. The finished product is then cooled and bottled, ready to pour on some hot biscuits.
