Molasses is a common ingredient in American baking and is often used to sweeten dishes as well. The natural sweetness is characterized with an intense and deep flavor and also provides a natural caramel coloring to its dishes. Therefore, it can be used in a number of ways. It has a thick consistency that is great for thick marinades or barbecue sauces, that benefit from the consistency. It is also perfect for cookies or muffins.

American Heritage Tip: Use molasses to make gingerbread, an American Christmas tradition. Or even in baked beans to add an unmistakable depth and slight sweetness to the dish.
