Laxmi P., New York, NY Molasses is a syrupy brownish black liquid which remains after sugar crystals are extracted from boiling the juices of sugar cane or sugar beets. Light molasses remains after the first boiling and after a second boiling, a darker, less sweet and thicker mixture remains and that is called dark molasses. Blackstrap molasses comes from a third boiling; it is very thick and not sweet at all. Brown sugar is white granulated sugar to which molasses is added. The molasses gives brown sugar its more pliable texture and brown color. Corn syrup is a sweet liquid made from cornstarch processed with acids or enzymes and rice syrup is a sweet liquid made from rice.
