DORMOY batterie syrup is pure sugar cane juice concentrated by cooking, produced in Martinique. Dark brown, thick, with a taste of caramel and molasses, it sweetens ti-punch, Antillean cakes and lemonade. 50 cl bottle, alcohol-free.
What is batterie syrup?
In the old sugar mills of the Antilles, the cane juice, the vesou, passed from cauldron to cauldron to thicken. The last one was called the batterie: that is what gave this syrup its name. It is also called gros sirop (gwo siwo in Creole) or jus de batterie. This one is made by the Dillon distillery, in Fort-de-France. It is stronger than a classic cane sugar syrup, and milder than a molasses, which is the residue left from sugar making.
How to use it?
- For ti-punch, the recipe printed on the bottle uses 1 measure of batterie syrup to 5 measures of agricultural white rum and a zest of lime (excessive alcohol consumption is dangerous for your health; drink in moderation).
- In Antillean pastry-making, it is the syrup of the gâteau bonbon sirop, and it also goes into pays nougat and coconut bars.
- Day to day, it sweetens a lemonade, a yoghurt or pancakes, in place of sugar.
It is a very concentrated syrup: dose it little by little.
What to pair it with?
For ti-punch: CHALEUR CRÉOLE lime juice. From the same house, DORMOY cane syrup, lighter, and the vanilla cane syrup. For pastry-making, LE GALION cane sugar. The whole section: Caribbean and Antillean flavours.
