Favorite syrup cane, sorghum, or fake maple?

[Artfuldodger]

I saw on another thread a mention of Boxelder Syrup. What kind and brands do ya'll like. I grew up on cane syrup but now we mostly eat the fake maple syrup like Log Cabin.
I also remember making pull candy with cane syrup.
Any uses for syrup like for BBQ sauce or Gingerbread?

Cane, I bout can't stand nothing else, old habits die hard!

I like cane OK, but I can't eat but a little maybe a tablespoon before I am sick of the taste.

Real maple I can eat until I hurt myself.

I'm the same way. I like the taste of cane syrup but is is way too sweet compared to maple syrup. My wife said her mom would make sugar syrup when they didn't have any regular syrup.
Has anyone ate any Boxelder syrup from North Georgia?

Pure cane syrup, its even better if you leave the lid loose til it grows a little mold. My grandpappy taught me that one, and before you knock it, try it.

I like the pure REAL maple that comes from Vermont. I have a friend that makes it every April and it is some kind of good. Not like that bought stuff in the super market. Good Sorghum is not bad.

Cane for me but I've never had homemade sorghum syrup before.

Cane for me with real maple second. I have had a little sorghum in North Georgia but not enough to rank it.

When I ate biscuits and butter, I loved making my own butter from heavy whipping cream and molasses.

I have eaten it with a touch of mold a time or two. Not bad and it gives a little extra flavor, kind of like on cheese.

Cane for me but I also like sorghum and blackstrap molassess. My wife is a yankee so we keep maple for her.

Visited Ohio Amish country this summer and picked up some maple syrup really good

I don't use syrup that often, but when I do,I prefer sorghum. Stay country my friends......

[rifleroom]

Cane syrup. I grew up on it. My family makes it. It is called Puddin Creek. It is sold in Harveys supermarkets.

I prefer *gasp* fake maple for pancakes, but cane or sorghum are good for other purposes. I can remember "helping" my grandpa make molasses when I was a kid, it was a fascinating process to me with the mule-on-a-pole walking in circles. I loved chewing on the fresh sugar cane stalks.

Here ya go. From Cade's Cove last year.

Good syrup made the right way, from red ribbon cane. It has many uses, from biscuits to pancakes, mixin` with butter to sop biscuits with, make syrup candy, sweeten coffee, and mix with bitter medicine to make it easier to swaller.

Cool pics! One of my sisters does those "living history" things every year at the Pioneer Farmstead on the NC side of the GSMNP, just outside of Cherokee. She usually makes apple butter in a big cast iron pot over a fire.

That sounds like that beer commercial " I don't normally drink beer but when I do"

I wonder where the dividing line is in Georgia between Sorghum and Cane growing and syrup making?

Is that Puddin Creek above Pearson that flows into the Satilla River?

Cane syrup for me! The darker the better!
