Comment:
Many Louisianans love to add the flavor of cane syrup to dressings and sauces. Most people compare the flavor of cane syrup to molasses. However, the two syrups are very different. Molasses is a much stronger, darker syrup used in dishes such as gingerbread and spice cakes; whereas cane syrup is used as a topping for breakfast items.
