Personal Notes:
Our family has fond memories of meals shared with Grandma MacNeil and extended family. Her cooking was inspired by her heritage and her community. Grandma MacNeil's parents immigrated from Lithuania and settled in a community which was a cultural mosaic of families from Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Lithuania, and Lebanon.

Butterscotch and caramel are my favourite flavours and this Butterscotch Pie is a fine ending to any meal any time!
