Does anyone have a recipe using sugar cane?

Question

I found sugar cane at a local grocer and was hoping to try and use it in some sort of baked good. Not really sure what to do with it though. I tried internet searches, but most came up with sugar cookies dusted with candy cane pieces.

Answer 1

Sugar cane itself won't cook into something edible. It will stay fiberous and pulpy.

What people do is generally chew on the cane to extract the juice and spit out the pulp.

Also, if you have a juicer, just juice the cane and use the sweet liquid in drinks or in a cake.

What people have done is take sugar cane and used it as skewers in grilling. The skewers give the meat flavor and you can chew it up to extract flavors, but definitely you don't want to swallow the cane.

I've seen in Vietnamese restaurants, they take strips of sugar cane and place a meat ball on one end for the grill. Also, they take the cane juice and make a sugar cane juice iced drink.

Answer 4

when I was a child we just sucked on them.

Alcohol made from sugar cane is becoming the fuel of choice in Brazil, and other countries.

The first stage of processing is the extraction of the cane juice. In many factories the cane is crushed in a series of large roller mills: similar to a mangle [wringer] which was used to squeeze the water out of clean washing a century ago. The sweet juice comes gushing out and the cane fibre is carried away for use in the boilers. In other factories a diffuser is used as is described for beet sugar manufacture. Either way the juice is pretty dirty: the soil from the fields, some small fibres and the green extracts from the plant are all mixed in with the sugar.
Once this is done, the juice is thickened up into a syrup by boiling off the water using steam in a process called evaporation. Sometimes the syrup is cleaned up again but more often it just goes on to the crystal-making step without any more cleaning.
The syrup is placed into a very large pan for boiling, the last stage. In the pan even more water is boiled off until conditions are right for sugar crystals to grow. You may have done something like this at school but probably not with sugar because it is difficult to get the crystals to grow well. In the factory the workers usually have to throw in some sugar dust to initiate crystal formation. Once the crystals have grown the resulting mixture of crystals and mother liquor is spun in centrifuges to separate the two, rather like washing is spin dried.

If the internet searches didn't help, how about holding onto the sugar cane and use it when you need support to walk.

Answer 10

I don't know if you are a drinker, but they make great mojitos. You can also use them for stirring hot teas to add a bit of sugared flavor, and not to mention they, as themselves are yummy treats for kids to just chew on.
