[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1470649, member: 6897"] Joe my dad and granddad use to make ribbon cane syrup. PRetty much like the pics that have been posted except their "pan" or whatever they called it was about 3-6 and divided up into 4-5 different departments. The juice went into one end and it literally circulated from one department to the other and dad and granddaddy would be skimming the trash etc. off the top all the time. Grandaddy wouldn't let anybody but him skim the last section of the syrup pan. (If I remember right there is an art to keeping the fire just right under it as well. Gotta have it hot enough to do it's job but don't want it so hot that it might scorch the juice and ruin the syrup. Last section had a small spigot where they would drain and filter the finished product into a small can (half gallon i think)....Use to sell for about $10-12 dollars a can). Probably much more now. You get a reputation as a good syrup maker and you would sell out everyday as soon as you canned it. [/QUOTE]
