Can’t seem to find it anymore. Do they still make it?

Nope. Amazon says you can order, but Roddenberry’s website says it’s discontinued.

I’ve tried Cane Field, but just not the same flavor to me. Supposed to be the same.

Try Alaga brand if you can find it. Very similar.

Yep, Cane Patch was the best. I have a jar of Cane Field but have not tried it. They are copying Cane Patch in appearance including the jar. I agree, Alagra or however you spell it, is about as good as you are going to get.

Sad to hear a piece of my past is no more.

My introduction to Cane Patch Syrup was by Harold Willson and Harold Boozer of Sumter, SC. Harold Willson (nicknamed “Double LL” because of the spelling of his last name) purchased an old shanty in the city of Russellville, SC . . . which became known to the group as “The Russellville Hilton”.
The Russellville Hilton had no electricity and no indoor plumbing. It did have an outhouse (that you entered at your own risk) and a hand pump besides a makeshift fish cleaning stand. This humble abode was scattered with single beds and supplies to fry enough fish to feed Patton’s Army.
The menu never varied . . . Grits + fresh tomatoes + fried fish . . . White bread folded in half with Cane Patch Syrup was dessert.
After a morning of wading the flats, the respite the Russellville Hilton offered was a Godsend . . . before we loaded up and reentered the water for the afternoon flurry.
Good Times for a 9 year old kid, his Dad and his Dad’s friends . . . Thanks for the reminder JAS66 !!!
Salute to the men that molded my life, to The Russellville Hilton and to the memories they created!!!

A lot of times when Daddy and I were fishing the Edisto, our dinner would be a dozen or so of fried red breast, a pint of home cooked syrup and a loaf of Little Miss Sunbeam Bread.

My mom made homemade biscuits probably 4-5 days a week when I was a kid. My dad would sit down at the table and the first thing he would do was take the 2 middle biscuits (she made them in a round pan) and he would open them up and put butter in them and put them to the side to let the butter melt. We always had Alaga or Cane Patch syrup, and after he finished his meal he would pour syrup on his plate and mix in a little butter or half and half if we had it. He would then sop the syrup with the biscuits. He would always have to get either more biscuits or more syrup because “they never ran out together”. Mom didn’t like the syrup and biscuits but my brother and I ate it just like Daddy, only we didn’t get the middle biscuits. That was dessert most nights. For a period of time, my dad kept beehives and we had fresh honey and ate it the same way as the syrup. Mom made homemade muscadine jelly every year that was really good on those hot buttered biscuits too. Man, if I ate like that now I’d weigh 400 pounds!

Cane Patch and ALAGA syrups both have corn syrup in them. If you want pure cane syrup like we use to cook when I was a boy go to winterssyrup.com out of West Green, GA.
Try it you'll never buy anything else.

My Grandaddy Made Cane Syrup

…for many years, always on the Friday after Thanksgiving. He used the PTO on a tractor to drive a grinder to extract the juice (nasty looking green stuff), and had a huge custom made copper cooking pan permanently mounted over a brick fire box. Relatives hovered around with these skimming shovel things to remove the impurities as they cooked off. The syrup slowly moved from one end to the other, where it was clear and amber. Granddaddy then opened a tap to fill gallon jugs. All of the syrup was claimed/bought that day by relatives and others from far and wide who knew this happened every year.
Good memories and I sure do miss my grandparents.
