Sponsored: Sorghum syrup

In some of our Western NC Ingles stores you can find sorghum syrup from Harrell Farms in Bakersville, North Carolina. Many people who grew up in the South refer to this syrup as “molasses” and use it in baking instead of honey, maple syrup, molasses, corn syrup or sugar. Sorghum syrp can be spread on biscuits or toast or drizzled on pancakes or ice cream.

Sorghum syrup is made by pressing the sweet sorghum cane plant, a member of the grass family. This is a different variety than the type of sorghum grain that produces the whole grain known as sorghum. Molasses is made by pressing and cooking the juice from a sugar cane plant.

Hurricane Helene was and continues to be a traumatic event for our region, but even within the worst of it, there are stories of resilience and ingenuity in ways that many had to deal with making or getting meals while having no power or water for days.

There are many churches and community relief and service organizations that are and will continue to help in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Please make sure you check on what local area churches may be doing or need in terms of donations. Money is often the best thing to donate so they can buy what they need. Volunteer time is also often appreciated.

It is difficult to know what to write after a disaster of the magnitude caused by Hurricane Helene. It certainly teaches us the importance of coming together as a community to check on and help our friends and neighbors, and how vital our emergency response teams, first responders, National Guard, churches, shelters for both humans and animals, and relief organizations are in times like this.
