Blackstrap molasses
The thick viscous syrup we call blackstrap molasses that provides the robust bittersweet flavor to baked beans and gingerbread is available throughout the year.
Blackstrap molasses is just one type of molasses, the dark liquid byproduct of the process of refining sugar cane into table sugar. It is made from the third boiling of the sugar syrup and is therefore the concentrated byproduct left over after the sugar's sucrose has been crystallized.

Blackstrap molasses is one of many types of molasses. It has a dark liquid appearance and has a bitter tart like flavor. It is the byproduct of refining sugar cane into table sugar. Once that's established It is then boiled to produce a concentrated darkened sugar syrup.

Although blackstrap is associated with the production of refined sugar, it is really quite healthy (as explained in the article cited below). It is the concentrated "leavings" after the sugar has been crystalized and removed. Thus, blackstrap is rich in minerals and is taken as a health food and as an ingredient as a substitute for sugar in cooking.

blackstrap is actually more processed. molasses is made extracting sugar from cane, it's the by-product. molasses is then either sold commercially or turned in to rum. blackstrap has more minerals and vitamins than most molasses

It's blackstrap. It's a really dark type of molasses. It's less processed than some other types of sweetners. It's really intensely sweet, and thick. It makes great ginger cookies. I have some in my cabinet right now.
