Nauvoo Syrup

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
Bring to a boil, remove from heat and add:
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

Note: I always use a much larger pot-it foams and makes a huge mess if it boils over.

This recipe makes quite a bit. I usually cut it in half or if I make the whole batch put it in the fridge and reheat it a few times and it is just fine.
