(NOTE: Sorghum may be substituted cup for cup in any recipe that calls for molasses, honey, corn syrup, or maple syrup. It has a different taste and sweetness, so you may wish to try small batches at first. If the sorghum crystallizes you can put it in warm water or microwave it to restore it to its usable form. - National Sweet Sorghum Producers & Processors Association)
