   9.  A Vintage Recipe Be sure to check out our vintage recipe archive online at:   
   http://www.tias.com/newsletter/topics/A%20Vintage%20Recipe.html   
      
   Over 1200 wonderful vintage recipes are listed.  Our most recent request asked:   
      
   "Can you ask your readers if any of them remember something called   
   honeyscotch?  When we were kids my mother would make it on special occasions   
   and we would pour it over ice cream for dessert.  Thanks, Charlie"   
      
   Here is a recipe from Linda L.:   
      
   Honeyscotch Sauce   
      
   In a 3qt.  saucepan mix 1 C.  Sugar and 2/3 C.Honey Cook over a medium heat,   
   stirring occasionally until you have the desired caramel color and aroma,   
   being careful to not let it burn.  Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 Cups   
   Heavy Cream and 3 Tbs. Butter.   
      
   This can be stored in a covered dish in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks   
   -----   
      
   Carol T.  also sent something in.  This is the "hard" version of Honeyscotch :)   
      
   "Pour your honey into a flat pan and get it hot; it gets thin.  Add an ounce   
   of Scotch whisky and blend it in with the honey.  It will seem awfully thin,   
   but as soon as the hot sauce hits the ice cream, you get the effect of   
   thickness.  It pools in the bottom of the cup.  carol T."   
      
   10.  A vintage recipe request from a reader:   
      
   "My husband and I are hosting a Halloween party.  We've asked our guests   
   (there's only 10 of them) to dress like someone, or something, from the 20's,   
   30's 40's, 50's, 60's or 70's.  I thought it might be fun to make some vintage   
   Halloween recipes to go along with the vintage costumes.  I know I could find   
   a book and look them up, but I thought I'd ask if any of your readers have any   
   ideas.  Thank you, Melissa N."   
      
   As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods from   
   their past.  Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to help   
   people who are looking for lost recipes from their past.  If you submit a   
   request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.

   If you can help this reader with this recipe, please forward it to   
   phil@bignews.biz .  If you have a vintage recipe request send it to   
   phil@bignews.biz and we might just publish it here.
