I’m not normally such a fan of molasses, with its thick texture and intense almost-savory syrup flavor, but a great article on relish.com called “Sweet As Molasses” really got my taste buds watering. Yes, I was salivating! The article listed a whole bunch of really interesting recipes, such as Lemon-Dijon Glaze and Anadama Bread, but […]
