Sugar cane juice is simmered for hours to make that sweet-smelling cane syrup you drizzle on the pancakes you eat for breakfast. The cane juice is first added to an open kettle and then simmered until it forms that thick, dark, and brown syrup that looks similar to molasses. Although molasses and cane syrup look the same, they are very distinguished. Cane syrup is popular in the south and is usually used in various recipes and as a table condiment.
Cane syrups’ journey began in 1910 when Mr. C. S. Steen, of Southern Louisiana, started collecting sugar cane juice to save his frozen crop. And to date, it is probably the best thing a human has ever tasted! How Mr. C. S. Steen made the cane syrup ‘historic’ and one of its kind, but now it has many types and tastes to please one’s taste buds.
CANE SYRUP AND ITS TYPES
If you didn’t know it already, well, let me tell you that a number of cane syrups are available in the market but nothing tastes better than the Ribbon cane syrup.
These are the major different types of syrups available in the market:
Molasses and cane syrup
The two sweeteners are different. Molasses is the byproduct of sugar refining while cane syrup is simply sugar cane juice boiled down to a thick, brown, and sweet flavored syrup!
Cane syrup is also known as unsulphured molasses amongst many non-southerners!
Sorghum syrup
The process of making cane syrup and sorghum syrup is the same. However, instead of sugar cane, sorghum is used to make syrup.
Treacle
These sweeteners come in various colors. The color scale ranges from darker to paler and is even similar to golden syrup.
