Fare Exchange: Miss Gertrude’s Butterscotch Sauce recipe

By Jane Henegar

Today’s requests are both savory and sweet: Homemade granola bars in a large quantity, and a Frito pie or Frito salad, or other Southwest-flavored salad. These requests came from a male reader who is beginning to take to the kitchen.

Get ready for a sugary Fare Exchange; no veggies for us this week. Judy Bellenfant wrote with a request: “I really enjoyed the recipe for Miss Gertrude’s caramel cake. However, I would also treasure having the butterscotch and fudge sundae toppings as well, if anyone were to have them.”
