Cane Jelly is a jelly made from sugar cane juice, but it is not overly sweet.
It is available in jars ranging from small to 5 US gallons (19 litres.)
It has a spreadable, smooth texture, and can be used as a glaze.
There are many different types:
- Dark and lite, which has a more pronounced taste;
- Barbeque cane jelly is spiced to use as a barbeque glaze or marinade;
- Pepper cane jelly has chopped peppers in it. Can also be used as a condiment at the side of the plate, or as an hors d’oeuvre on crackers, etc.
