Buttermilk Syrup

When doing my research several months ago about culturing my own buttermilk, I ran across this interesting recipe from allrecipes.com.  Buttermilk syrup is very much like caramel sauce.  I've heard people use in on pancakes or waffles, although I think it is fabulous on vanilla ice cream.  Yum...
