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.

  1. 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 :/

  2. 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.

  3. Absolutely 💯. Perfect! Love Wanda and Danny like family. But your version of this cook-off with THE MOST AWESOME BLUES outro!!!!! 👌

  4. I would like to grow sugar cane. I know it must grow well here in East Texas. A town 12 miles away has an annual syrup festival. I missed it this year. However without a means to crush the stalks I can’t see that it would be worthwhile to grow. Perhaps I can engineer a suitable device if not available. Or maybe one of y’all could point me in the right direction?

  5. I wonder what the bible study was like during your visit. ( maybe just a good ol time even.) Thanks for bringing two great channels together like this for a collab. I hope to see more in the future.

  6. 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.

  7. 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
