Several attempts to trace the pecan pie's origins haven't been fruitful. The first dated recipes appear in 1897. However, there are evidences of the pie being made in Louisiana's early 1800s. In 1897, one of the oldest recipes for a pecan pie appeared in the Lady's Home Journal. The recipe for the "Texas Pecan Pie" was later published in several newspapers around the country. It contained six components – sugar, sweet milk, pecan kernels, eggs, and flour. The dish is basically directions for a custard base, not the pecan pies we know today..
Until 1940, Fannie Farmer and The Joy of Cooking, two well-known cookbooks, did not include this dessert until 1940. By then, Karo syrup had made its way to the pantry shelves. Of course, the sweet syrup makers raised the profile of pecan pie. The pie, according to the company's marketing executive's wife, was a "new use for corn syrup" in the 1930s as a "new use for corn syrup."
