re: I was raised on Steens Cane Syrup. This not a routine LA thing?

My wife and kids love it. They put it on biscuits in the morning.
I use it when I smoke ribs and pork shoulder before hitting them with rub. Very nice bark and just sweet enough.

I have never tried it. A chef or two may have snuck some into a dessert over the years, but I was never aware of it.

Used in place of Karo it makes a damn fine pecan pie.

Also use it to sweeten most tradional southern deserts and sweets as cane syrup is the OG southern sweetener, the slight tinge of molasses is a nice touch.

Cane syrup is everywhere in South La. steens brand May be local to Abbeville, but anyone who grew up near a mill had syrup, molasses and la quit in their house.

Just made some biscuits and sopped them up with some Steens. It’s legit stuff. Living in LC, it can be hard to find at times. They were out for several weeks during this pandemic but it’s usually stocked on some bottom shelf of Rouses or LC.

Funny enough they don’t stock Steens in the “buy local” category of Rouses. It’s over there with the syrup. People might buy more of it if it was stocked front and center with other LA home products.

Steens is one of the few things I refuse to eat. That, Kelly beans and licorice.

It's the only syrup to me, I heat it up in microwave. I like the only one ingredient.

Anyone got a good syrup cake recipe?
