MOTHER'S BUTTERSCOTCH PIE image

Found another old recipe in my mother's cookbook. This brings back a lot of childhood memories. I can still see this pie sitting on Mother's kitchen table just waiting to be eaten! Today's butterscotch flavor can't hold a candle to it! Photo by: http://blekko.com/ws/buttersscotch+pie+/images
