Cane syrup ... or sorghum ... used to be all we had in the South if it wasn't brown/raw sugar from the Caribbean. Central and South American countries still use the brown sugar cones that you grate the sugar off of that you need.
It is either called piloncillo, panela, or azucar negro. I know it more as piloncillo and have several five-gallon buckets of the individually wrapped cones in storage. I think azucar negro is more colloquial as I've only ever heard twice. Panela doesn't have to be in cones like piloncillo.
And that is our lesson for the day. ROFL.
