Anything that bursts out of its container, ESPECIALLY CANS is to be treated like a fucking biohazard unless you are 100% positive why it happened. I'd take back the jar of molasses and explain what happened.
When I buy the stuff, I buy it in a bottle and keep it in the fridge. Good blackstrap molasses isn't sour, but it has a very bitter taste with only a little sweetness. Unless a recipe specifically calls for it, you'd do well with a less potent molasses if you want the flavor.
You can't beat blackstrap for a potassium supplement, though. It's cheaper and more potent than any supplement pill.
it seems the molasses had fermented in the jar or something. :/ i bought it for the iron and calcium content - and read somewhere that you can 'thin' the flavour out with some other liquid sweetener. so i was hoping to try that out actually. (though i'm not sure it would work if it's so bitter)

snakes bursting from peanut brittle cans, in which case you beat the person who gave you the can to an oozing pulp and demand to know where your damn brittle is.

Even if that doesn't work, it's still useful as a supplement. I take it with some other vitamins.
