Butterscotch Sauce

Written by on in Desserts, Sauces, Side Dishes

Way back in 1971, when I was expecting my first child, I would walk to my sister-in-law Mary’s house to visit. She would twist my arm to join her in having a big bowl of french vanilla ice cream, smothered in her homemade old fashioned butterscotch sauce. Mary, having been raised on a farm, was a great cook. This sauce is one of my favorites. It’s smooth, creamy and down home delicious.
