Sugar Cane Syrup

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was a child growing up in the 50's and 60's, one of my uncles had an annual "cane grinding". The smell of cooking sugar cane juice was one I will never forget. There would be dozens of people, all ages, at this event, and we would get to eat fresh ground sausage, homemade biscuits and pancakes, and of course, fresh cane syrup.

One of my uncle's sons, has revived this tradition, and two weeks ago, he made a fresh batch of syrup. I'm fixin' to fry some good hickory smoked bacon, make some french toast, and pour on the cane syrup. I didn't get to go to the event (I was picking up pecans) but one of my brother-in-law's brought me a quart bottle.

I'm makin' it here in the country outside this little ole town of Blackshear in south Georgia.

I've never heard of it. Sounds like fun memories and really good food!

Mmmm, enjoy! That's one of my dad's favorite things! His grandfather used to make it in GA, too (though he made some White Lightning with the sugar cane, too.

). I've seen it made down here, too, and if he can find it cheap enough, he brings some home. The syrup, not the White Lightning.

When I was in Cub Scouts in the early 60s, we went to a small cane syrup operation and the grinder was powered by a mule that was yokes to a pole and walked in a circle to turn the gears.

My favorite store brand of cane syrup was "Daddy Bucks" made locally in NW Florida, but I was recently told they sold out. It was the very best!

Another old favorite was Blackburn, which was started in 1927. I recently read the ingredients on a jar of their syrup and they now add junk like high fructose corn syrup.
