PECAN PIE INFLUENCED DESSERT RECIPES

“A treat for the eye — a thrill to the taste — and so easy to make!” was Karo® syrup’s famous tagline for their pecan pie recipe. In the mid-1920s, the Karo brand started printing a recipe for pecan pie on the label of their cans of syrup as a suggested way to use it. With sugar being a scarce commodity, it was a brilliant marketing strategy.

After being popularized by Karo syrup, the pecan pie recipe would go on to appear in major cookbooks “Joy of Cooking” and “The Fannie Farmer Cookbook” with Karo syrup as a main ingredient.

Today, the classic recipe hasn’t changed much and remains a Southern American favorite dessert.
