Cane Honey or Molasses: properties and uses in the kitchen
We have included sugar cane honey or molasses in our Nutrition section as a food that can be part of the sugar substitutes. However, we should not confuse it with the properties of honey, since as we will see below they are different.
Although we call it cane honey, it is not actually honey (which is produced by bees) but molasses from sugar cane. This plant is known because it is used to make sugar and rum. But in this process a juice is also obtained, a kind of nectar from the cane in which all the nutrients of the plant are found. This juice has to be filtered and cooked, giving rise to a natural syrup known as molasses, to which no chemicals or external additives are added.

uses in the kitchen
In addition to being used as a natural sweetener, cane syrup or molasses is also used in cooking.
A good example can be this recipe for fried aubergines with honey, a typical dish from Granada. However, it can be used in different types of meats if before putting them in the oven, they are painted with cane syrup. In this way they will brown much better and we will obtain a unique color and flavor.
