About Syrups, sorghum
Syrup is a thick, sweet, pourable liquid made by dissolving a large amount of sugar in water or by concentrating a naturally sweet sap or juice. The family is wide: pure maple syrup boiled down from tree sap, mild and neutral corn syrup, golden simple syrup for sweetening drinks, honey-like agave and rice syrups, and the caramelized richness of molasses and cane syrup. Syrups are essentially concentrated sugar, high in calories and carbohydrate with little else, though a few such as maple and molasses carry small amounts of minerals like manganese and iron.
They are the classic topping for pancakes, waffles, and French toast, and they sweeten and moisten cocktails, coffee drinks, baked goods, glazes, and canned fruit. Simple syrup is easily made at home by heating equal parts sugar and water until clear. Store syrups tightly sealed, and refrigerate pure maple and homemade simple syrup to slow spoilage.
