I was about to say… Cane syrup is made by boiling down sugar cane juice and has a slightly caramel-like (as best as I could describe) flavor and color to it. If I were to substitute, I probably would mix corn or simple syrup with blackstrap molasses, in a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. Simple syrup just doesn’t have the same sweetness or flavor as what I know as cane syrup.
