"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a true heirloom recipe from my Mother, Georgia Hedrick McEntee. Grandpa Henry Cutbirth of Missouri and his wife Annie made wonderful sorghum molasses. They kept it in the smokehouse in 5 gallon lard cans. It was so thick a spoon would stand up in it. It was used often for desserts of all kinds. Pumpkin pies and cornmeal pancakes with sorghum as syrup.
