Butterscotch

Ingredients

• 1/2 cupful water
• 3 cupfuls light brown sugar
• juice of 1 lemon or 1/4 cupful vinegar
• 2 to 4 tablespoonfuls butter

Instructions

Mix the sugar and liquids thoroughly. Boil gently to the "crack" stage. Add the butter. Pour into buttered pans. When almost cool, cut into squares with a chopping knife. Break into pieces when cold.
