Log Cabin syrup

Grocer Patrick J. Towle (1835-1912),[1] initially formulated as a way to dispose of left over corn syrup.

He named the resulting product in honor of his childhood hero, Abraham Lincoln, who was famed for having been raised in a log cabin.

The newest version of Log Cabin syrup has eliminated high-fructose corn syrup, believed by some to increase the risk of obesity.

It is the first American brand to eliminate the ingredient, though it does still contain corn syrup.
