Buttermilk Syrup

This can't be healthy. We went camping with some friends a few years ago and they introduced this recipe to us. We call it candy syrup. It is really good!


1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter (I made it once with margarine and it was not the same)
3/4 cup butter milk (I used sour milk)
2 TBS corn syrup
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda

Put everything except vanilla and baking soda in a good sized pot. Bring to a boil. Take off heat and add vanilla and baking soda.

*hint* It foams up quite a bit so make sure you use a pot with some room for it to foam.
