I made an amazing vintage recipe last night with frozen blueberries and rich unsulphured, blackstrap molasses. Check out the blog www.101cookbooks.com, a blog I follow regularly, for the recipe! Yum! I served mine with vanilla ice cream, Heidi recommends sweet cream, either would work! :)
Info on the benefits of blackstrap molasses for those interested:
Blackstrap molasses is a sweetener that is actually good for you. Unlike refined white sugar and corn syrup, which are stripped of virtually all nutrients except simple carbohydrates, or artificial sweeteners like saccharine or aspartame, which not only provide no useful nutrients but have been shown to cause health problems in sensitive individuals, blackstrap molasses is a healthful sweetener that contains significant amounts of a variety of minerals that promote your health. In addition to providing quickly assimilated carbohydrates, blackstrap molasses can increase your energy by helping to replenish your iron stores. Two teaspoons of blackstrap molasses will meet 11.8% of your daily needs for calcium. Molasses is also an excellent source of copper and manganese and a very good source of potassium, and magnesium.
