Georgia Pecan Pecan Brownies - Old Cookbook Show

Georgia Pecan Pecan Brownies - Old Cookbook Show
A word about Pecans, and how difficult they would have been to buy in Michigan... The first mention of Pecans that I can find in newspapers in Michigan is in 1844; a wholesale merchant was advertising that he had 10 bags for sale. That same merchant advertised again 1846 that he had 5 boxes for sale. They were expensive, sporadically available, and most often attributed to Texas. It's not until post 1900 that Pecan groves in Georgia really start to produce and ship pecans in any great number. Yes Most certainly MRS. EDGAR FLORY who wrote this recipe could have been wealthy and could have afforded to bring pecans to Michigan in the late 1890s, but it's just as likely that she didn't / wouldn't write this recipe if other members of her congregation couldn't get them.
