Buttermilk honey

Directions

1. 1
   Combine the sugar and buttermilk in a non-aluminum saucepan and simmer for about 45 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently so that it does not turn into a transparent cheese.
2. 2
   When done, it should sheet from the spoon like jelly and be the color of very light clover honey.
3. 3
   It should taste like honey with a slight buttermilk aftertaste.
4. 4
   If the buttermilk flavor is too strong, add the baking soda, which sweetens it.
5. 5
   However, the baking soda will make it frothy for a few minutes and, if the sugar has impurities, they will come to the surface.
6. 6
   You may need to skim it.
