You can call it molasses, but what Gilbert Futrell makes every October is actually sorghum syrup. A member of EnergyUnited who lives in Davidson County, Mr. Futrell says he’s “trying to keep an old tradition alive.” You can meet Mr. Futrell and watch him make molasses the weekend of Oct. 25-26 at Horse and Mule Days at Denton Farm Park. (For more about Horse and Mules Days, call (800) 458-2755 or visit www.threshers.com.) He will have molasses for sale there, too. A quart costs $8, and he will have pints and half pints available.
For shipping information, contact Gilbert Futrell, P.O. Box 565, Denton, NC 27239.
