Molasses was & is definitely a fall thing; as is hog butchering.

Was Molasses something that was only done in the fall, or was it a year round process?

You should hear Pap’s story of the time the cat got into the molassses-lets just say it wasn’t a pretty sight.

I wish I had the land to grow cane-I’d make Pap teach me the way they did it when he was a child. He said it was one of his favorite times of the year.
