buttermilk syrup and the farmers market


today i sold a bunch of baked goods at the farmers markt. i spent 6 hours last night baking and packing and pricing everything. this was my first time doing this and now i'm tired but it was worth it. i had to decied what i wanted to make and what would be sell well. i chose to make blueberry cornmeal loaf, apple cake, chunky applesauce, blueberry oat scones, cheese scones, pani popo, avocado corn muffins and buttermilk syrup. the buttermilk syrup went really fast and so did the avocado corn muffins, which surprised me. the cheese scones and apple sauce didn't do very well. it's hard to market the cheese scones because they're sweet. some people don't think sweet and cheese go good together unless it's in cheesecake, and this was chedder. i love those scones though. they're my favorite scones that i bake.

buttermilk syrup
Ingredients

1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions

In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, buttermilk, butter, and baking soda. Bring to a boil, and cook for 7 minutes*. Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla.

*it took me longer than 7 minutes to get it to the thickness of a syrup i desired.
