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. Us kids would get to ride the mule who pulled the pole around in circles...now a tractor is used.
One of my uncle's sons, has revived this tradition, and a few 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, which I promptly dropped and busted. He gave me another bottle, and it was good.
I'm makin' it here in the country outside this little ole town of Blackshear in south Georgia.
