Making cane syrup doesn't have to be a huge production. You can boil syrup in a huge kettle, or you can use a small barrel stove like Danny and Wanda. In this video David The Good documents how Danny and Wanda at Deep South Homestead make cane syrup, from growing sugarcane to crushing it in a Golden's syrup mill, to boiling down the juice to just the right temperature to make a couple of delicious gallons of homemade syrup.

This was AWESOME! Great day with GOOD friends and we end with syrup. Thanks for documenting it
"I actually like having child labor. I'm not gonna lie."
Epic.
Just like the good old days
There was a survey back in the day..children working in factories were asked: would you rather continue working and getting paid, OR return to public school and get paid. Something like 90%+ preferred working. Kinda random but interesting.
When I was growing up in southern Mississippi there was always a lot of sugar cane around and people boiling the juice to make syrup was a sign of cold weather on the way. Now I only ever see sugar cane grown as an ornamental and real cane syrup is harder to find. It's sad to see these traditions fading away. One good thing about our current downward slide as a nation may be the return of some of these things if there are still enough people around to teach us how it's done.
There does seem to be a growing desire to get theses processes and traditions back and to return to some more of the slow living.
Love your screen name!
My mom was a little youngster when all this way of life took place. She says it's hard to remember all the different steps from making cane syrup to canning all their food like Apple Butter on an open fire. It's sad that there are not enough people out there to share from the days of the past. Once she started school, she wasn't able to really watch all the things that were happening unless it was in the summer. Technology may be helpful but in other respects it's a hindrance to what is being lost to the children of today and tomorrow.
Hi David, From the younger Nana LOL.
@@margiemurray2147 But there is a movement to regain the lost knowledge and many still have and teach it. RUclips is good for that and sharing knowledge with others at every opportunity is what needs to be done. I speak up often to answer questions and point out better solutions in the most unusual places, Lowes or Walmart, the local grocery store, young people don't know and seem to appreciate when a "grandma" gives them tips on which plant to buy or how to plant it. Give information freely, don't be afraid to share knowledge.
Loved this. Good people, filming good people. Great that you headed over to give them a hand. Thanks for capturing it so beautifully.
it was nice to see Danny and Wanda just be themselves and not have to worry about making the video, great work Mr The Good
Two of my favorite RUclipsrs David the Good and Deep South Homestead, so glad you did a collaboration together 👏🏼
We used to make maple syrup in upstate NY quite a few years ago. You needed a lot more maple if you wanted syrup that thick. It seemed like it would just keep evaporating forever. But when it was done, aww man.
Hey, David - the older Nana here ,, Excited to see this...I remember going to a "syrup cooking" back over 75 years ago. Some of the basic set-up was differently made but the process was the same. The mule has been replaced by the 4-wheeler and the open fire and evaporator pan by the 55-gallon drum set-up. Enjoyed it, Danny and thanks, David for bringing all of us the completed story...Danny, do have one question - where did you get the cane press? If you said, I missed it...thanks again, guys.... looking forward to the next one....
Great video. Love learning how things are made. I will never make my own syrup (too old), but I would if I could. David your boys are hard working young men. You and Rachael are doing a fine job raising such a large family. God bless
I love that you went to hang out with Danny and Wanda!
That was a fun day. Enjoyed the live stream. Like we were all there with you. Your boys are Great and they really worked hard.
I really enjoyed spending the day watching you all while I was doing my chores and getting my work done. Two of my favorites
Thanks, David, for sharing this. It was fun watching two of my favorite channels together.
I used to have so much anxiety. I had 2 young toddlers. There were hurricanes, tornadoes, disasters, bad people, no money all coming at us.
Years later alot has changed but really nothing has changed except we've grown older and wiser and have found joy and we're living it.
I stay away from politics and shut off the news. Life is good.
Thanks for the memories.
This was fun David, Danny and Wanda!
David I really enjoyed this documentary you did a beautiful job. The live was so funny.It looked like you all were having a blast. Look the music at the end.
Seem less edit with the audio of Danny cutting in and out showing the process this is a fantastic educational film DTG and family and big thanks to Danny and Wanda for being the teachers to the generations with maybe not as stern a voice but definitely a valued one. Interested in this but unsure how this translates into an HOA backyard :/
Ooooh baby, one day they'll play this song in Publix....
Wow David great video brother. Danny and Wanda are some wonderful folks.❤️😁🙏👍 !!!
I loved watching Danny and Wanda! They are a great couple.
STILL one of my FAVORITE Videos!!! Thanks
Very interesting! Love the idea of the wagon wheel! We had one row this year! We should have a great crop next year if all goes well! Thank you for sharing!
So glad you and Danny and Wanda got to know each other. We watch both of you. Danny & Wanda are old school like us but we learn so much from you and your family. We are learning to try some thing new from you. God bless you and your family.
Thanks, Billy.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 THAT WAS FANTASTIC!! David, you did a great job!!!!
Nice to have you here, and on the live the other day.
That was so interesting! Wanda and Danny have the set up for EVERYTHING!
That was really interesting. I wondered how a normal person lol could use sugarcane. This is it. Thanks.
Danny and Wanda are wonderful people.👍
A blessing, thank you.
Thanks for this shorter version of the live stream. I'm still working on getting that 7:30:12 vid watched but don't want to miss a minute of all that went on. Watching this shorter version brought back memories of me as a child come sugar cane harvest time (Brewton, AL-Escambia Co.). Several families got together and the men would harvest the cane while the women were in the OUTSIDE kitchen cooking lunch & supper. The cane press was run by a donkey that us kids would lead, round & round. We ate bits of the sugar cane which cranked us up to keep the donkey walking (LOL!). The men would then sit and shoot the crap while cooking down the juice. After supper the women cleaned up and started getting the jars ready for the syrup. The women did this part while the men cleaned up everything outside. Didn't take as long having several hands doing the work. Brought back many memories of days gone by.
Learned some tips from this vid to hopefully cook down my sugar cane juice once I get it juiced & ready to cook down. I did the wagon wheel planting last year and got more cane than planting in rows & in much less space. I also saved the tops of my cane, put them in water and they are rooting. I'm potting up the rooted tops in 35 gallon tubs & keeping in my heated greenhouse for the winter. Plan to have my own sugar cane to juice to DRINK during the year and not have to mess with my cane for syrup. Figured the cane tops would root so WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.
Also just got my Cassava Cuttings from Grower Jim in FL to get potted up to root. Gotta grow our food to SURVIVE or starve in hard times coming.
Man I bet that would make some AWESOME pecan pies! I am drooling!!!! Danny do you guys sell the syrup? I'm close to you guys in Purvis.
No we don't sell any
My late husbands family always did sorghum. It was a family event every year. I’ve heard so many stories, I wish I could have been there myself. I would love to learn how to do it myself and pass it on to my children.
We eat the fresh juice. So yummy and fresh.
This was so interesting to watch! It's past my bedtime but, I couldn't break away.
Lot of work ... but, pure, natural, preservative free syrup! Nothing quite like
knowing what you're actually eating! 😊
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks this was an amazing video and collaboration with Danny and Wanda
From "güarapo de caña a melao, melaza"! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing 🤗🌟💖
David filming before he has to go a funeral. What a true professional
I remember doing this in the 70's in Northern Mississippi.
That was fun! Makes me want to plant a stand of sugar cane. I'm not sure it would grow as far north as Atlanta. It seems like the real kicker with this is coming up with a cane mill, though. That is very labor and space intensive. There are probably diesel powered ones but that brings it's own set of problems.Of course, there's learning to cook with it, too.
Yes, you could grow it in Atlanta. The mill is tough, you're right.
Great filming! What a wonderful fun day🤗
Enjoyed the live and this “short”!! Especially the end…words just fall out when you touch hot things. Lol!
Yes, I forgot it was sitting on a hot burner on the stove. LOL Wanda
This is fabulous! Good peeps!
Loved this short version!
The skimming and refinement process is just so interesting! There's a lot of stages to the liquid.
That was awesome, David! Thank you!
Raised in CA, grandparents from Nebraska & West Texas. I never saw this before. Wow.
Great Film David. I always like watching cane syrup makin.
We watched off and on on Thursday, it was great! Well done on this compilation 👍💝
Good old cane syrup on my biscuits or cornbread is what I grew up on.
Great to see you all together
Great video David. Thank you. Jarrell Plantation in GA had their Sugar Cane Festival 2 weeks ago. At the presser we sampled some raw juice and were able to bring back a 2 ft. raw cane with eyes and planted it. Hopefully it will take and next year we'll be sectioning it to make our own wagon wheel. Blessings from Linda in middle Georgia.
I want to taste this juice too. It must be good too.
You probably already know what I’m gonna say so I’ll attempt to refrain….lol. I really enjoyed this!
This was fantastic! Thank you for filming this, it was truly educational.
There's nothing better on hot biscuits than Caine syrup.
I saw most of the LIVE, You did a great job! Love your work. Thanks
Kids are working hard..😃👍
All that needs is some butter and a biscuit. Yummy yummy
Great video.
Too cool! 😎
I LOVE ME SOME WANDA, YO! She came right on over and held our attention on locking g the pot rim. I loved that. I do that too. #Keepupthegreatwork Ya'll. 🖖🏿 I am rewatching for sure 👏🏿. 🥰❤️🔥Very educational and God Bless Ya'll for today's lessons.
Very Cool thanks for showing the process and sharing the knowledge.
OMG!
Thank you!!!
Thank you for creating and sharing this content, I hope it brings you many blessings.
I guess getting ahold of some cane is the beginning....
So cool to watch the process!
Absolutely 💯. Perfect! Love Wanda and Danny like family. But your version of this cook-off with THE MOST AWESOME BLUES outro!!!!! 👌
Great video, Thank you 😊
AWESOME!!!!!! Thank you 💕
I love it ❤️ plus I'm from the Dothan area so double love to you all
I love me some @DeepSouthHomestead and this video was great! Looks like maybe the “spokes” got to be around 10’ in diameter? Kind of hard to tell but I’m trying to figure out if I could do it here where I am in central texas.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
ThankQ
Sooo awesome!!!!
Lovely ❤
I am so glad you didn’t drop the hot syrup 😂😂😂😂I yelling be careful at the TV 😂
What a lovely video, I really enjoyed watching this collaboration.
Great video!
Well done. 😊🌻😊🌻😊
In the old days you used a mule. 😊
That was awesome!
Outstanding
Fantastic David thank you so very much
So interesting! Thx for sharing your time with this and us! 🥰👍🏼
Interesting, the boiling process looks like boiling maple sirup.
Yes, almost the same.
This was a great video! Loved seeing the whole process from start to finish.
I'm here in the Caribbean and I used to see my grandfather make cane syrup. There were cane fields everywhere back then. Now those fields are gone. Replaced with homes or just empty bush land. Now I see some people starting to go back to growing cane and fruit trees, even raising chickens and rabbits since the pandemic. I think the people who are realizing that even though progress is great there are some old ways that you should take with you and teach to your children. Like how to grow your own food, make and fix things. Because if those ships stop delivering imported food and goods, then what? Btw, can we get the recipe for the cake? As always, great video.👍🏾
I think you're right. You'll have to ask Wanda for the cake recipe.
What a great video David!!!
I spent all day watching y’all Thursday!!!
I did manage to harvest a wheelbarrow full of Florida broadleaf mustard greens 🥬 while listening to yall on my phone… cooked a pot of them down in bacon grease with cornbread!!! Ha
yes indeed!
Over in my neck of the woods. Great video.
I am #LovingThis
That was a great video! To think this knowledge transfer likely would not have taken place had Danny not humbled himself when he was a young man.
They say sugar is a drug lol 👍 great vid
I'm watching your two syrup videos back to back. Glad to know I can use a thermometer to know when mine is ready, since I don't have anyone around teaching me. I also ordered my cane from your daughter's Etsy. Can't wait to experiment here in Oklahoma. With an average 180 day growing season, but colder temps, I'm planning to start my cane inside and move it out in the spring. What do you think? Also, just FYI, galvanized metal is not safe for cooking or storing food. Foods with low acidity do not react with the galvanized steel and, according to the USDA, are safe to serve on galvanized steel.
Danny, why do you have to use a thermometer AND watching for the sheeting off the spoon? Are both necessary?
Also why can't all the juice be put into one pot and just boil until you have syrup? Not criticising, just trying to learn!
I very much appreciate your willingness to spread your very in depth knowledge of plants, I was wondering if you knew anything about how to get rid of root knot nematodes? I've been planting French marigolds everywhere and plants that are root knot nematode resistant but does anyone know any thing else I can do maybe let the land rest a year and let weeds grow? I figure any weeds that grow will be resistant to the nematodes and I've read in the Bible its good to let the land rest every 7 years. If anyone has any knowledge on the subject I'd very much appreciate it. Also don't use free city mulch that's how I got the infestation of nematodes and after watching this brilliant man's content I've found out this mulch very well could have herbicides and other cides in them which is also a bummer. You try and save money, that's what you get for being cheap I guess.
😀🌱🐢
Good times.
does the size of the bubbles correlate to the sugar concentration? and If so would a brix meter give an accurate reading as to when to turn off the heat?
That is cool as sheet fo sho.
Me likey 😎👍
Only problem with the pans... they are very thin and will burn up ... We'll get buckles in them and burn through.. Then you have holes in your pants so be very careful.. The pans are very thin The pans are very thin, Not meant to cook in just meant to hold food in a warmer....
How far north can sugar cane grow?
