Do you ever make your husband haul your purchases in from the car? Like when you go to the mall and buy 5 new outfits, complete with shoes and handbags, and then make him carry in all the cute little boutique bags for you? Or like when you buy a five-gallon pail of molasses?
I really like molasses and I hate buying it in the expensive and small bottles at the grocery store. I thought there had to be a way to get it cheaper if I bought it in bulk. I asked at Sam's Club and they looked at me like I had three heads. "Molasses? No, we don't carry that, Ma'am." Am I weird to like molasses? It's a great source of iron and I've been slightly anemic since the end of my last pregnancy.
Amazon Grocery sells molasses, so I can't be that weird.
Glenda has a friend that owns a health food store and can order stuff from food wholesalers. She asked him and it turned out his wholesaler sells bulk molasses-- in five gallon pails! Of course this was a better deal than even Amazon, but FIVE gallons?
What the heck! Why not buy five gallons of molasses? The stuff keeps forever.
So I did.

But now I could really use your help. I love molasses cookies. I love gingerbread. I love love LOVE Glenda's recipe for North Dakota Farm Bread which has molasses in it (more on this later). But I've got FIVE GALLONS, man. I need some more ideas! What do YOU like to make with molasses? Post me a comment, with or without a recipe. We're going to have a big molasses baking spree here at the Birrd's nest.

I recently made barbecue sauce that had molasses in it. It was really good sauce (I think Carolina-style), though next time I will use less cayenne pepper. It was in Cook's Illustrated, and I can e-mail you the recipe if you like. Perfect for pulled pork.
Mmmmmm... I've been thinking about pulled pork.... I'd love that recipe! Thanks!
My kids love it straight off of a spoon. So do I. (It's full of great B vitamins, btw.)
Muffins.
Cookies.
Pancakes/waffles.
Candy (I'm SURE there's a recipe out there somewhere.)
And, finally, Google-fu to the rescue:

Have a great night!
Ok give it up...how much does a 5lb pail of molasses cost anyway??? Maybe you can do double duty with it I am sure there are uses for it as a beauty product...facial or hair maybe??
I paid less than $40 for the whole bucket. That's just under a dollar a pint.
