Ingredients
1/3 cup butter
1 cup light corn syrup
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup pecan halves
Directions
In 1 quart glass measuring bowl (I use pyrex), melt 1/3 c butter,
usually 30 seconds on high. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into
baked pie crust shell. Cook on medium, 18 to 20 minutes. Turn once
during cooking.
Hints: White sugar is made by removing the molasses, so I simply
reverse the process to make my own brown sugar. Add as much or as
little molasses to your white sugar as you like. I do the same thing
to light corn syrup.
Servings: 1 servings

The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, mint and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books were greatly in demand due to increased literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
