Butter scotch sauce

We are still in ‘camping mode’ here.  Our kitchen is a shell.  We have a box of plastic forks and all of our plastic spoons have come from Dairy Queen, thanks to the teen’s ability to drive through for a Blizzard on her way home.  Our cooking options are limited, a skeleton crew of pots and pans, no can opener, no ice cream scoop and no microwave.  We did find, however, that you can reheat left over pizza by putting the toaster on its side!  An electric stove to boot as we do not have gas here (yet).

We wanted to thank our new neighbors for their warm and welcome kindness to us.  Luckily, Pat can cook.  So we handed him the most important ingredients.  Butter, sugar and heavy whipping cream.

(Don’t you think Fred Meyer or Kroger should pay me for this great advertising?)

Butter and sugar in equal parts and stirred away until it turned the color brown, then the cream and stirred more and more…..

Jars filled with the instructions – “great on ice cream and it doesn’t keep, so just eat it”.  The  jars were delivered with the sauce still warm.  We then zipped through Dairy Queen to grab some vanilla ice cream, stock up on spoons and rush home to enjoy this heavenly sauce.

    Be still my heart! Nothing better than that sauce, I make it and spoon it over a good apple cake. But straight from the jar – SO good!

    I remember that PAT CAN COOK at prep school when the cook went off sick Pat was drafted into the school kitchen at age ?14? to make lunch for all the rest of us children! And it was delicious! A very belated Thank You Pat!
