[…] Carob molasses is made by crushing and boiling whole carob pods, straining them out, and reducing the resulting liquid. Carob syrup is made in much the same way, but the decoction is sweetened with sugar or honey. The bean can also be eaten straight, though this is definitely not the tastiest option. The dried pod is hard, fibrous, and is often compared to cardboard. […]

Hi! It's Kyle from Yum-oh here!! I've recently discovered a new use for it, in a deeeeelicious chocolatey cake icing for a sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free mud cake. (soon to be blogged, when i get a decent photo of the cake, it usually gets eaten before i get a chance to get near it with a camera!!!) Sooooo yummy!!!. The icing is based on a recipe from Baby Cakes NYC (google them and their gorgeous vegan cupcake book). Whiz everything in a blender for a few minutes until smooth. Pour into a container and refrigerate for a few hours, where it will firm up enough to apply with a palate knife.

1/3 cup carob molasses
3/4 cup soy milk
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon coconut milk powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup melted coconut oil

Although it’s currently out of stock you can order organic carob syrup here: http://store.renegadehealth.com/Kev-s-Super-Nutritious-Organic-Carob-Syrup-8oz-p488.html. I would think it would be the same as the molasses. It is pricier though.

I also love debs 5arroob (carob molasses), but since I read about high fructose syrop’s ill effects on one’s health, I’ve been asking around for a supplier of debs 5arroob that is certified not to contain HFCS. If you now of any such source, pls share. Btw, I havn’t been able to reproduce Leb carbob molasses at home using carob powder.

I grew up in a Lebanese Household. remember mum mixing somethign that looked like syrup with tahini and i loved it. But we didn’t get it often – i am guessing it might have been out of our budget. Eventually i went to work in Lebanon and saw a carob tree and tasted home made carob molasses. I love this stuff. They make cakes with it in Lebanon…mmmm
my Friends here have had varying reactions to the molasses when i show it to them. They do not like the smell of it. I think people need to tast it in something to appreciate it. I personally eat it as I always have, mixed with tahini and spread on pita bread. Here in montreal I can find it in teh lebanes grocey stores. I get a jar for $5 which i consider quite a good price.

I was intrigued by what you listed as ingredients in making carob molasses. Is high fructose corn syrop used today in making this molass? Many years ago, as a Ministry of Planning official, I visited a small factory of carob molass near the town of Batroun, Lebanon. I was surprised to notice two large steel barrels of liquid sweetener, which I found out to be high fructose corn syrop. As you know, HFCS is a highly carcinogenic product, so I’ll be very mindful to avoid commercially found carob molasses unless the ingredients are listed on the jar and certified independently of the producer. http://mmekkawi.com
