[Syrupmakers] White sediment in sugar cane syrup

[Louis K. Broussard Sr.]

I experienced sediment with cane syrup.  I am thinking I cooked it too fast and too vigorously?  What do you say?

I have a question for anyone that has experienced the same situation as I.  After cooking the syrup and bottling it, it is a beautiful clear golden reddish liquid. After the bottled syrup cools, in a few days, there appears a whitish sediment in the bottom of the bottles.  It looks quite unsightly to anyone purchasing the syrup and is noticeable, since the syrup is so clear.  I have read online in maple syrup production it is called niter... and was told that it is the minerals settling out of the syrup.   I have talked to an elderly gentleman nearby and he has experienced the same thing in his syrup, but has no idea as to what causes this.   My question is this:  Surely someone else besides me has had this happen to their syrup productio.  If so, please advise me if there is anything I can do to eliminate it.   Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.   Ben & Dianne Parrish Lake Church Rd Metter, GA 30439 ben at benparrish.net On FaceBook:  “Parrish’s Old Time Sugar Cane Syrup”
