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
Experts have found proof that recipes existed back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of recipe books from the 1300s - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich people of that period. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
