[Sca-cooks] pre-1601 sugar processing

[Terry Decker]

Primary processing is done on the spot to produce molasses heavy sugar.
Secondary processing can be done on the spot or in remote locations.  There
was a sugar refinery in Amsterdam in the late 17th Century (IIRC, but it
might be the early to mid 18th Century).
