Corn Stalk Syrup?

⏱︎

Read time:

Here’s an interesting tidbit:

We spent most of Saturday helping to make cane syrup from sugarcane with a new friend we met at the Gulf Coast Homesteader Meetup.

I hope to post the video soon.

But corn-stalk syrup? What an idea!

    Hi. Where do you get sugar cane starters or whatever it’s called to get a little crop of them going? Do you have a link to some place or do you sell them? Thank you very much

      I get starts from the local farmers’ markets and sometimes ethnic markets. This is the time of year to hunt.

    That’s very interesting, sweet corn harvest, then syrup processing.

    That’s…interesting. I wonder if it’s variety specific or any kind of corn will do.

    likely to be similar to high fructose corn syrup, but certain to be healthier as a small batch grind extraction, interested to learn more

    Hoss Tools posted a video about corn sapping April 1, 2022. It’s real interesting.
