Grandma’s Butterscotch Crescent Rolls

Vintage Recipe Card for Double Butterscotch Crescent Rolls.

I have never tasted this. I have an aversion to butterscotch. Grandma tried serving butterscotch pudding for dessert, multiple times, yet my picky little self was not having any of that. All that said, this actually sounds good and now I would try it.

One interesting thing I noticed while going through my Grandma’s recipes. Over time, especially in the past 15 years, companies have reduced the sizes of products. Example: The “typical” can of tuna that was 6.5 ounces in Grandma’s day, is either 5 or 5.5 ounces now. Hence why I use my sister site to post just the recipe, so I can make allowances for any changes or substitutions needed to account for modern adjustments to measurements and food availability.

Enjoy!

Recipe for Champagne Festive Fruit Salad

Vintage Family Recipe Card for a alcoholic fruity salad punch.

Back in Grandma’s time, they didn’t follow the rules of “champagne” labeling. So in modern language, this is a sparkling pink wine dessert. More a punch than a salad, but not going to argue with my Grandma, who has long since passed.

Recipe – Cranberry Salad

Cranberry Salad. Perfect party food for the holiday season!

A staple side for holiday parties. Colorful, sweet and the only leftover is an empty bowl. A dirty recipe card never lies. Thanks to Jan Shollin for one of my grandmother’s favorite recipes!
