When I found this site, it was like finding a long lost friend. After searching all the supermarkets and health food stores for real cane syrup, I found that California dosen' have it all. Growing up in Louisiana is a real blessing, we know what real food is!

A couple of years ago we had lunch at Laffitte's Landing Resturant in Louisianna. The salad we had had a dresing that was fantastic. We bought a cookbook by Chef Folse. The recipe called for pure cane syrup. We were unable to find any. We were told of Steen's baut again were unable to locate any. I went on line to see if you had a web sight and there you were. We just placed an order for some syrup.

I was raised on Steen's. My dad introduced me to the product over 35 years ago as a child and have enjoyed it since then. As a matter of fact only until a few years ago did I realize there were other types of syrup out there. I only wish it was sold in 5 gallon containers. Keep making it and I'll be there

I watch the Food channel, Emeril Live to be exact and he is always using Steen's Cane Syrup. Well my husband and I went on a mission trying to find this. To my disappointment the only thing we found was something called Alaga. This is not the real thing. I had been to Little Rock Arkansas on a business trip this year and thought if anyone would have Steen's they would. Lo and behold NO, only this artifical stuff. My husband and I have decided that in the very near future we will be making a trip to Louisiana to taste some of the wonderful things that we see on the Food Channel.

Enjoyed reading commentary from various users of Steen's Syrup. I live in California, but am a native of Louisiana with well founded roots in the city of Abbeville. I went to school at Southwestern in Lafayette with a Steen (believe his first name was Charles) in 1939-1942. As I remember, he was the son of the proprietor of Steens syrup. If Charlie is still alive, I would like to hear from him just to say hello for old times. Haven't seen any of Steen's syrup on the stores shelves here, they don't know what they're missing. Keep the kettles boiling.

I remember as boy going visit my dad at the plant and bugging him for some of the fresh syrup out of the faucet. It was the best in the world. I lived in Germany the past four years and like clock work my mom would send me two cans three times a year. I think it is best mixed with peanut butter and spread onto a slice of bread. Also everymorning i pour it on my cereal for that extra flavor. Thanks for the flavor

I recently received my order of your cane syrup. It tastes as great as I remember enjoying my grandmother's fritter as a young girl. Every time I see that can of syrup, it warms my heart. Thanks for having a product which is pure, preservative free, and minimally processed. Oh yeah, most improtantly the taste is out of this world. Please continue offering this fantastic product to folks all over. I for one greatly appreciate it. I was wondering if you are considering offering an easy pour container for your syrup. In me you have a supporter for many years to come. eaf

I have been eating Steen's Syrup since 1960. My Great Aunt Sophie would make plate size pancakes for me on the weekends. I have never been able to find the syrup here in the Washington Metro Area but every chance I get back home to Louisiana I stock up. I so glad that I found your web site. My Mom wanted the recipe for the popcorn balls and had asked me to look on a can that I had. I just sent her your site so I'm sure she will be making many more things with your syrup than popcorn balls. Be Blessed Llewellyn L Forbes

I have loved cane syrup since I was a small child. In my opinion, there is no better tasting syrup. When I go on vacations, I bring a bottle of Steen's cane syrup with me into the restaurant for my pancakes. I tell all my non-Lousiana friends about cane syrup and let them taste it.

I was born and raised in Abbeville but now live in Mississippi. I met this really sweet old man at a birthday party recently and when he heard where I was from he asked about the Steen's Syrup Mill. He went on to say how much he loved that syrup but was on a tight budget so only treated himself occasionally. So I decided to look up on the internet if Steen's had a website. I didn't have to look very far. I was also pleased to see they also make gift packages. Since I'm headed that way this weekend for a family wedding I'll also get my sister to pick me up a gift package for the new friend I made. My fondest memories of Steen's is when we'd get those first cold fronts come in during October. You could smell that syrup miles away. I think I miss that most. Every October comes around with that first chill, but no Steen's Syrup smell in the air. I still have all my family in Abbeville, but I don't get to visit as much as I'd like to. I really miss all those sweet down to earth cajuns! You just can't find a finer people anywhere on the earth! Thank you Steen's for the free downloads of wallpaper. Now I can put that up every October and just pretend that I can smell the mill at work. God Bless and thank you for a wonderful memory.

I FIRST NOTICED STEENS BEING USED ON EMERIL LIVE AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD AT HOME FOR COOKING. I WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO IS FROM YOUR PART OF LOUISANNA AND SHE WILL BRING ME A SUPPLY WHEN SHE GOES HOME. I LOVE THE SYRUP ON PANCAKES OR BISCUITS; AND I HAVE USED IT IN BAKED BEANS, A GLAZE FOR HAMS AND IN ANYTHING THAT CALLS FOR A SYRUP. THE TASTE IS GREAT AND I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE IT FOR YEARS.

I am sick, sick, sick of corn syrup (dextrose). It is in everything now, it seems. I much prefer the taste of cane or beet sugar (sucrose). I had no idea that cane syrup was manufactured. It sounds like a product that I might like. I am thinking of trying to make pancake syrup that is cane-based rather than corn-syrup based

It is nice to see the name Steen on a good product. I was born and raised in north Louisiana and didn't even know there was any such thing as Steen's syrup until I was an adult. My brother-in-law loves it. He says that is the only thing the Steen's are good for is the syrup. Maybe somewhere down the line we are cousins.

I enjoyed your site very much, it makes me even prouder to be a Louisianian. Great product, my family has sure eaten alot of Steen's Syrup! I am a Children's Author and my theme continues to be my Louisiana Pride. My new book (Soon to be released) is entitled "Acadie, I Remember 1755" about the deportation of the Acadians as seen through the eyes of a 7 year old girl. It is a picture-book that basically explains to kids "How Cajuns Came to be" and how they ended up in Acadiana. I will be touring all 64 parishes in promotion of this new title.If contacted by e-mail I am also available for visits & reading at schools, festivals, libraries etc. My Mother was a Leblanc and my Grandmother a Thibodeaux, so don't be fooled by my English last name.

Moving away from Acadiana was difficult enough, but leaving the availability of the foods that I grew up with made it even more difficult. In all this time I have never been able to order the Steen's syrup from anybody. The stores in my area don't carry this product. However, i've just discovered this web site and have ordered my favorite syrup. YEAH Steen's!!!!!! You've just made a whole family very happy! I remain, Pat Lormand

I was raised in the South near a little town in Florida called Palatka. We lived about 10 miles out side there in a little community called Pinal (pronounced Pin -Isle) at a place called Stokes Landing. This was Mr. and Mrs. Thomas�s Place. They farmed and ran a commercial fishing establishment there as well where I worked from age 5 till the age of 10 when we moved. The Thomas�s had their own gristmill run by a Mule where they squeezed the sugar Cain every year to make Sorghum Molasses. I can only remember the good taste of that �Fresh� rendered Cain syrup. I�m hoping your product will help me bring back memories of those days long gone.

I ran across your webpage trying to find out how to make small batches of homemade molasses for fun. My family is from Texarkana, AR, where Steen's Syrup is in abundance. It was and still is a family favorite. So much so that when we moved to Chicago in the early 60's, my dad was very disappointed that we could not find it there. He consequently began a business of selling Steen's Syrup to stores in Chicago. There were so many other southern transplants like us who missed our favorite syrup! Thank you!

Reading through your history pages brought back such memories of my childhood. I can still remember the taste and smell and texture of chewing on a piece of sugar cane. My dad used to get gallon jars of syrup at the sugar mill in Montegut. They closed down about 30 years ago, so its been Steen's Syrup ever since. And my grandmother used to make the popcorn balls as a treat. I think I'm going to bake a batch of your Soft Syrup Cookies and make some of those popcorn balls so my kids can have some warm fuzzy memories too!

I grew up in Leonville, Lafayette, and New Iberia, LA. Often for dessert we'd put some butter or margarine on the plate, pour some Steen's over that and kinda cream it all together with a fork and eat it on biscuits or cornbread or Evangeline Maid white bread. I bought a can of Steen's while in Lousiana a few weeks ago and am enjoying it...I'll start looking for it in the stores up here.

I admit that I've been substituting corn syrup instead because I've never been able to find cane syrup, or when I can, it's so expensive. Your products are affordable and, I am sure, very good if they are endorsed by the master himself, Emeril Lagasse.

My husband was transferred to Denver in January of 1998. Of course I came along and I day by day I seem to miss all the little things about LA that made it so great. For instance, the way Abbeville has that incrediable sweet aroma during the fall when Steen's is producing It's syrup. We would all go for rides on our bikes just to inhale the wonderful smell. We are currently out of Syrup. Help!!

I am originally from Abbeville. My parents, Russell and Laura Gaspard, still live there and I visit as often as I can. I still remember growing up there and smelling Steen's Syrup from our house not far from the mill. I now live in Houma with my husband and son. We keep a can of Steen's in our refrigerator. It reminds us of "home".

I have eaten Steen's syrup since my early childhood (almost 50 years ago). It is the best I have ever eaten, and it beats all competition, hands down. Since my family has moved to Tennessee, the thing we miss the most from Louisiana is the Steen's and Cajun music. We still manage to get Steen's, never fear!! Hey, when you have the best product on the market, you might as well BE PROUD!!! Please keep right on making Steen's, the way it has always been made!!

This is my second order online and I'm happy that you have made the product available in this manner. I will be visiting my son and family in Munich next week and he has asked me to "please bring the Steen's". I must really love him because I'm taking my LAST can. Please RUSH my order as I can't bear the thought of being without it.

Dad would bring it home,from a store across the street from his job, but alas.Now that I found you,I can bring back warm home feeling I used to get,of course,I now can share that special time with my new family.

She's already made a delicious gingerbread and some delicious popcorn balls. She tried to make balls before you sent the recipe, your recipe made a BIG difference. Personally, I mix Steen's syrup with peanut butter as a spread on sandwiches, it gives me energy at playtime. Boys need their energy. Keep up the good work!!!

Unfortunately, since moving to Aurora, Colorado ten years ago we have had to resort to plain ole syrup that cannot hold a candle to your cane syrup. I am pleased that now I have found this site and will be able to order the real thing to share with my family and friends. Thanks for the memories.

As a native of Lake Charles I was brought up on Steen's syrup. Even in the 70's when I was stationed in W. Germany, I managed to get it mailed to me. I can by it at the Winn Dixie in Riverdale, Georgia, however, I've reached a dilema. I don't have two (must have) recipes. The first was one that my great-grandmother (Teat) used (from your cans in the early 60's) for gingerbread. And the second, my cousin Monica Thomas used to make popcorn balls. I don't know where Monica got her recipe, but she definately used Steen's. I have two children and during each pregnacy, she faithfully made popcorn balls for me. Please, please send me these recipes. I've be eternally grateful. P.S., is the a pecan candy recipe with Steen's?

Steens is the BEST! With Louisiana parents, I grew up on it. Steens is still all I want on pancakes, waffles, and fritters. My favorite cake my grandmother makes is a syrup cake with Steens in it! A couple of years ago I found a small Steens can at a flea market. The lady selling it said it belonged to her aunt, and that she had it as long as she could remember. I wonder if you have any history on this can, like when they were made, and for what purpose. It held 2 5/8 ounces of the worlds best syrup! Thanks for the info.

Hot <CENSORED> ! Gotta love modern technology! If any body knows how to ship boudin, you could make a mint on the internet from me alone (that's all I'm missing). As I read through the guestbook, I was amazed to see all the other transplanted Cajuns writing in to praise the fact that they could still get south Louisiana products without having relatives bring it with them on vacation (speaking from experience). I've loved Steens syrup as long as I can remember eating pancakes at my grandmother Myrtle's house in Breaux Bridge- she used to get a compementary case of Steens, in the cans, every year, not sure why. I never complained! Anyway, thanks Steens for making it easier to have a taste of Acadiana from far away!

They become ulcerated throughout the digestive tract, break out in hives and a rash, and have mean and aggressive behavior whenever they consume any type of corn. It is extremely difficult to feed them and to give them treats in today's market as EVERYTHING has corn products in it or the container is lined with a material containing corn. We are very thankful to have found your site and hope this adds a little to the life of two little boys. They will now be able to have peanut brittle thanks to your recipe.

As I grew I learn from my grandmother to use when making fig cakes. Chop or grind figs,pecans,orange peel,pineapple,add cinnimon,black pepper STEEN'S let simmer to super thick, make dough and roll real thin and place cooled mix in center and bake.

Being born, bread, and buttered, in Abbeville, I have wonderful memories of Steen's Syrup, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Being a grandchild of Poon and Ovide Broussard, of the ledgendary "River Oaks Restaurant", it was very common to eat some of the best cooking this side of the gulf. Steens's was always on the table. I remember my brother Skippy, making a syrup sandwich, just about every morning. I also remember asking my dad O.A., "why do you call Mr. Steen ugly, when he isn't?" I then learned what a nick name was. Absolutely delicious memories . . .Why I even think there was Steen's syrup in my baby bottle with the milk. 45 years later, I gotta have dat Steen's.

I grew up on homemade cane syrup in Slidell La. My grandfather grew sugar cane and made the syrup himself. Our supply was small each year so when Daddy John H. ran out, we bought Steen's until the next sugarcane season. My husband is from St. Martinville and loves the syrup on just about any thing (peanut butter sandwiches, cornbread, etc.) His mom always made popcorn balls for the bazaar at Notre Dame in St. Martinville and saved a couple for us. Unfortunately, we lost her 2 yrs ago and now I want to pick up the tradition for my church here in Texas. Needed the recipe so I called the mill and got your voice mail. Then went online and tried the yellow pages "products". Boy, were we happy to see your website. We'd bought the syrup assuming that the reipe was still on the back. Now we are in business!

My wife and I Love to make popcorn balls with steen syrup. We like to make them when it is cold out side, and we seat in front of the fireplace and eat popcorn balls. We love the smell of the syrup in abbeville when we pass through.

I am a 3rd generation Steen syrup user, and my kids still today won't eat bisquits, homemade bread, cornbread, smothered potatoes, cheese syrup and cracker with a cold glass of milk, um um, and of course our favorite popcorn balls. Moma Hebert could make a pan full of popcorn balls and we grandchildren would roll them and put them in wax paper. Believe me they didn't last too long. This was one of our favorite holiday treats.

Like many others, I learned about Steen's syrup from Emeril Live. To my great surprise, the first message I saw on here was from Redding CA just an hour west of me - neither towns are very big. Amazing the impact someone like Emeril can have! I can't wait for my first order of Steen's.

Growing up in lap land...you know where Louisiana laps into Texas on IH10 and being cajun my grandmother introduced us 6 kids at an early age to Steen's and coffe milk..My fondest memories growing up was my mother making homemade bread..As soon as it came out of the oven, I'd get a bowl and put ton's of Steen's in it add butter whip it and dip the bread and eat and OMG you've never had a popcorn ball the right way til it's made with Steens..In the fall we'd travel to Morse, La to visit our Grandparents..Daddy always promised us if you're good I'll stop anf get sugar cane..Talk about 6 kids being angels!Even thought hubby and I lived in MI 7 years we'd come home once a year and I'd go to the local store and buy a year's supply of Steen's. coffee and spices livng in not so cajun land was very difficult..I am cajun and pretty darn proud of that fact...This is truely an awesome site..Congrats!!

I was raised on steen's syrup. After I married we lived in about 8 different states. Always had plenty of syrup with. Now I send syrup to my son and his family, who are in the air force, HI and NE are just two of the states they have lived in. Now that I've found your web sight I can let him know. Thanks for giving us such enjoyment. My kids especially liked the popcorn balls I made for them.

Growing up in Reserve, LA close to the Godchaux-Henderson sugar refinery, where my paw-paw retired, sugar can was always readily availible for chewing. I have fond memories of our lil gang with our kane knives going cut a couple stalks to bring back home so we can all enjoy the sweet juices. I remeber as a young child my mom making gros-pot (?? spelling) or fried dough and having a warmed bowl of steens syrup to dip it in. You talk about - you talk about!!! That was so good. We still use Steens, but the kids prefer the blended version. I really enjoyed surfing this website, it is put together very well and not over jammed with too much info on a single page, this is one of the best set up sites I've been on, hats off to your webmaster, it as good as the syrup is. Would like to get over and visit the mill one of these days with the kids, I think they'd enjoy it as much as I would. Also just courious, why is there no mention of the home town Steens is located in? Again, great site and great syrup - And ya'll pass a good time nah cher!

We heard about Steen's 100% pure cane syrup through watching our favorite Food Show - 'Emeril Live.' Emeril uses Steen's syrup in some of his receipe's such as Baked Beans and Carmelized Cane Syrup Sweet Potatoes. I could not locate the product within our area so I checked on the internet and e-mailed you folks. You were kind enough to respond to my e-mail which eventually led me to this site. I am ordering the product through this web site. I sure hope you consider distibuting your product in the Cincinnati area. One place in particular, Jungle Jim's on Route 4 carries 'special' products. I am sure that many other's in our area would like to purchase this product, simply because Emeril uses it and he has many fans in the Cincinnati area. If you visit Cincinnati try some of our famous Skyline Chili and/or Grater's Ice Cream. Thank you for taking the time to answer our e-mail and we look forward to using the Steen's Syrup. Best Wishes, Joyce & Dan

My mother was raised in Oakdale, Louisiana and grew up using Steen's syrup. Although my sisters and I were raised in Texas, she "raised us right" and we always had Steen's on pancakes, waffles, biscuits, etc. No other syrup tastes like it and I won't eat any other kind. I wish the stores in our area would carry it in the cans rather than the bottles. It's the same difference as drinking canned Coke vs. Coke in glass bottles! I'd love to visit your factory some time!

Here's a "recipe" from my youth: 1) Ask your grandma to make some real biscuits. 2) Break biscuits in half (buttering them at this point is optional). 3) Fill a wide, deep plate to a quarter-inch-or-so deep with Steen's. 4) Put an obscene amount of softened butter into the syrup (if your doctor doesn't approve, don't invite him) and stir like crazy. 5) Place biscuit-halves face down in mixture. 6) Eat this alone so you can lick the plate!

Let me share a "recipe" from my youth: THE ULTIMATE BREAKFAST 1.Have your grandma make real biscuits. 2.Halve the biscuits (as if you were going to butter them--buttering at this stage is optional) and set aside. 3.Fill a large, deep plate a qyarter-inch-or-so deep with Steen's. 4.Plop lots of softened butter into the syrup (if your doctor doesn't approve of this, don't invite him) and stir like crazy. 5.Place the biscuit halves face down in the buttery syrup. 6.Eat alone so that, for dessert, you can lick the plate.

I was born and raised in Jennings, La. There is nothing that reminds me more of Louisiana then "Steen's cane syrup". Every Sunday for dinner, my daddy would make pancake, (which we would tease him and call them "Rubber pancakes") and the only syrup we kept in the house was Steen's cane syrup. For me Steen's Cane Sryup was its own food group. No other syrup comes close. the only problem I had is I now living in Baltimore Maryland the only way I could get "Steen's" was to call my dad or sisters, and have them send me some...But now I found this website...I'm in "CAJUN HEAVEN"....I can't thank you enough for all the happy memories...Yumm, Yummm...I LOVE YA'LL!!!

I GREW UP IN HOUMA, LOUISIANA AND MOVED TO SAN DIEGO. EVERYTIME MY MOTHER WOULD VISIT ME IN SAN DIEGO SHE WOULD ALWAYS BRING A BIG CAN OF STEEN'S SYRUP, BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO FIND OUT HERE. I AM SO GLAD THAT I WAS ABLE TO FIND YOUR WEBSITE. STEEN'S IS THE BEST SYRUP THERE IS. I WON'T EAT PANCAKES UNLESS THERE'S STEEN'S SYRUP IN MY HOUSE.

My son wants to do his Science project on sugar cane and the manufacturing of it. For example the use of Dr. Baddley's ABC Clarifier kits and how it works. What are the processes involved. We live in the middle of a Cane field and would like to know more about the industry. thankyou, Mrs. Richardson 3153 Main Street Port Allen, La 70767

Over the years I have heard people such as Paul Prudhomme, Justin Wilson,Jeff Smith(The Frugal Gourmet),rave about the taste of Cane Syrup. Being from California, I had never had the opportunity to try it. On a recent trip to the South I happened to be in a Supermarket, saw and purchased Steens syrup. I am now your newest convert, and am happpy that I am able to purchase the Best syrup in the world over the Web. Great Web Site, I'll be stopping by often

For the past 20 years my sister has sent me cans of Steens Syryp (I moved to GA in '79). Finally I found it at a local grocery store and was elated. Today I was looking for a "Syrup" cake recipe that my mother made when I was a child. She has passed away but I will never forget the taste of that cake. I would love to share it with my children. I love your sight - makes me homesick!

I moved away from Abbeville 27 yrs.ago, some of the things from "home"came with me and Steen's Syrup was one of them. Maple syrup-no way.And taking the by-pass in fall-no way-oh that wonderful aroma of Steen's Syrup Mill. Steen's on biscuit,pancakes,toast,bananas,pork chops. And in all of my life it has never changed. Thanks!

HELLO STEEN'S. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GUYS HAVE AT YOUR MILL, THREE 20 FT. CANS OF SYRUP. I SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE I AM THE ONE WHO PAINTED THEM.

IF YOU COULD PLEASE SHOW IT OFF TO EVERYONE WHO VISITS THE WEBSITE, AND TELL THEM DAVE DID IT.... THANKS

People here in Denver have never heard of "cane syrup." Needless to say, I've had many interesting conversations when breakfast watitresses spot me reaching for a bottle of Steens hidden in my coat pocket!!! I generally end up sharing with most of the other people in the restauraunt!! I can't wait to get home to Louisiana for Christmas to restock!!Merry Christmas!!!!

My dad always used Steens syrup as he was raised in Marksville, La. I was raised in Houston, Tx. My stepmom lives in Covington, La. and every time we visit, I return with a dozen cans of your syrup. I recently had a case of your blended syrup shipped to me as you just cannot find Steens syrup in California. It is the best. Try making baked beans using Steens cane syrup - yum! yum! I made them for a Church function, had to hand out the receipe and on my next trip to Covington had to bring back an extra dozen cans for friends. It's great. Keep it exactly as it is. Don't change a thing.

I was born & reared in Tenaha,TX - 12 miles from Logansport, LA. Went to work in Houston. Retired. Worked in Pearland, TX. for a 2nd retirement. Had the pleasure of driving through Abbeville. All time, I've enjoyed Steen Syrup for many years. The iron content is a good iron supplemint for me. PROBLEM: I'm hving difficulty finding it at the local stores but I plan to ask Safeway to order. Your excellent ads on this screen make me feel like being back home in Texas. Thanks to my La. Friends, I have the location to use & enjoy.

I found the best site on the web by accident! My mother used your syrup for breakfast, for baking and especially for the popcorn balls that she made by the hundreds. Which brings me to why your web site is the best; No one remembered that recipe after my mother passed away and now I have it. Its so simple, but so delicious. Now I can pass the memories of popcorn balling to my son! Thanks for the best web site on the net. Incidentally, I was born and raised in Lafayette, La and always bring a lot of Steen's with me to Georgia to share with friends.

I remember going to the mill on a Thanksgiving Day during the the 1970's. My uncle, Robert Prejean, had been hired to work around the mill doing janitorial chores. My aunt, Margaret Sagrera Prejean, wanted to to make sure her husband didn't miss out on the spread my mother, Alice Dunn Sagrera, had fixed. Upon arriving at the Mill, I asked directions to my Uncle's location. I carried a plate of food and a quart jar of milk up the narrow steps from the canning room into the next level of the mill. I remember that when I found my Uncle he had just sneaked a
