Buttermilk Syrup

Oh my gosh, do you need to make this. No kidding at all, you really do need to make this. I bought a quart of buttermilk because I needed some to make a ranch dipping sauce (a different post) and now I have to use it all up, hence, this syrup. I adapted it from a bunch of others I have seen in the past. It’s delicious. I don’t have anything really profound to say about it other than that. It would be great for breakfast (waffles, pancakes, or as shown in the picture, on abelskivers) or dessert (on ice cream or pound cake.) If desired, you can eat it by the spoonful. I may or may not be able to speak on this experience.
