Last week a reader asked for a receipt for butterscotch for ice cream.  Here
are three sent in by our readers.  As always, thank you for helping!

Hi - the request for homemade butterscotch sauce reminded me of the ice cream
socials a local group used to hold years ago when I was a member.  I dug
through my vintage cookbooks looking for the recipe for butterscotch sauce I
used back then, it's super simple and very good, and I found it!  This is from
the 1954 (!) edition of Betty Crocker's Good & Easy Cook Book.  It makes one
cup of sauce; I used to double the recipe for the socials.

Butterscotch Sauce

1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup white corn syrup
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla

Mix brown sugar, corn syrup and butter in saucepan and bring to a boil over
low heat.  Remove from heat.  Stir in cream and vanilla. Can be served warm or
cooled.

Enjoy!

Homemade Butterscotch Sauce

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt (regular sea salt)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan (not non-stick) over
medium heat.

Add the brown sugar, salt and heavy cream and stir the mixture with a rubber
spatula until it's well blended.  Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping down
the sides occasionally, and boil it for 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the
butterscotch sauce to a container to cool.

1 cup butter---do NOT use margarine. 2 cups brown sugar
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla

Melt the butter and brown sugar together. Then stir in the heavy cream and
cook about 10 to 12 minutes until it is thick.  stir in the vanilla and add a
pinch of salt.

This is the sauce we used for bread pudding, ice cream, and apple pie and
apple dumplings.  the recipe makes about 6 cups.

I don't know which of the older relatives it came from, but all of my German
immigrant family used it.  I'm from Louisville, Kentucky and have lived here
all of my life.
