Sorghum Syrup proves that the little things on the table can carry a lot of American character. Southern/Appalachian sweetener from sorghum cane. Across Appalachia and Pennsylvania Dutch country, recipes like this help define the meal: brightening sandwiches, dressing salads, crowning burgers, spooning over biscuits, or turning a simple spread into something people remember. It is practical, proud, and built for the kind of generous table where a sauce, jam, relish, pickle, dip, or dressing can steal the show. For shelf-stable storage, follow current tested canning guidance; for everyday serving, make it fresh and keep it chilled as appropriate.
