Sugar is made from raw sugar that has
undergone a refining process to remove the molasses. Raw sugar is sucrose which is extracted from sugarcane. The sugar syrup is
concentrated by boiling in pots like those pictured below and then cooled and
seeded with sugar crystals,
causing the sugar to
crystallize out. The remaining molasses
at the Westerhall Plantation in Granada would be taken to the distillery where it would be
fermented and distilled into rum.
