Is there an easy way to make sugar at home from sugar cane?
i have some sugar cane in my backyard that we are getting rid of. Is there an easy way to make it into a sugar in the form such as the sugar bought from the grocery store.
Answers:
your basic answer is "no", especially when you can buy a big bag of sugar for so little at the grocery store. Here is a link about how sugar is made in the factory (special equipment, special steps to initiate the crystalization process).

One interesting point the link makes is that sugar cane regrows on its own roots, so if you cut it down it just grows back. So make sure you dig up the roots.
One thing I've seen done with sugar cane is to just cut a piece and suck on it like a piece of candy. Just a thought.
