December 2003 Butterscotch Candy Mrs. Delores Ulmer Chapman Arcadia, California

1 cup sugar 1/3 cup molasses 1/2 cup butter 1 tablespoon vinegar 2 tablespoon boiling water Boil ingredients together until, when tried in cold water, becomes brittle. Pour into flat well buttered pan. When slightly cool, mark with a sharp knife into squares. This candy is much improved by cooking in a small piece of vanilla bean with other ingredients. Being our father's daughters we inherited Dad's sweet tooth and Sunday afternoon was typically a good time to make this favorite. He always had plenty of real butter in those days. My father was Nelsen Ulmer of rural Dawson, Nebraska.
