Really awesome video. Enjoy it when people take a raw product from nature and produce a quality product. I need to find some of that cane syrup to try.
This is a great video. Thanks for posting. I have a silly question. Can this be made at home just using granulated sugar and water? I realize a lot would be missing since I’m not extracting fresh juice from the stick but no one sells cane syrup within 2,000 miles of here. I’m from Louisiana but ended up living in WA State due to the military. It’s silly to pay 5 times the price on Amazon as I remember back home Steen’s syrup was sold everywhere for a great price. Take care buddy.
Wouldn't work the same. You would have to use molasses since cane syrup is basically just past molasses or I think just before. It would honestly be cheaper to just buy it online. The amount of money and time you would spend trying to make it would be more than just buying some cans of steens and having it shipped to you
Good morning - yes, ribbon cane is a traditional "old school" variety that was often heralded for its softer stalk that you can chew. Commercial varieties planted now produce a lot more sugar, but is not very suitable to chew. They are both grown the same.
very nice. we grow cane too. wonderful plant.
That's cool. Thanks mate

I've tried the same thing and it cost 3 times as much as literally driving to LA and buying it and then driving back
We still do this twice a year, fresh juice and syrup. nice video, come check out our process.
Someone gave me a variety of sugar cane that is very skinny. They called it ribbon cane. Does anyone know anything about that variety?
