LeBlanc Cane Jelly - These are no ordinary Jellies. Be Creative and taste the Excitement
Description
Sugar cane came to Louisiana as early as 1733 when the Jesuit priests brought cane stalks from Santo Domingo. It was used primarily as chewable stalks and as a confection similar to molasses. Sixty-one years later (1794), a fellow by the name of Etienne de Bore opened the first successful sugar mill on the site where Audubon Park is located today. It was at that time the method of creating granulated sugar was put into production and started the industrial sugar revolution.
Two hundred years later, Roland F. LeBlanc, Jr. of Abbeville, Louisiana conceived the idea of turning the juice of sugar cane into jelly. Driven by, ingenuity and the grace of God, along with the legacy of past generations (Roland's grandfather was Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc, Sr., otherwise know as "Coozin Dud: the inventor and promoter of Hadacol, the cure-all elixir). Roland F. LeBlanc, Jr. set out to develop a new product. After three years of experiments research, and travel, he with a handful of shareholders under the corporate name "The LeBlanc Jelly Co." successfully opened the first Cane Jelly™ manufacturing facility.
The Southern Region of Louisiana is rich with an abundance of sugar cane. In the fall, the stalks stand 7' to 10' tall and grow 1" to 1-1/2" in diameter, it is cut and transported to mills where it is piled in great heaps awaiting the grinding process.
