Traditional Holiday Pies
Have Interesting History

Of the pie gradually was in
creased until today the mince pie
has become a mixture of fruit
and spices, with the addition Of
meat optional.
While the pumpkin pie always
has been synonymous with the
holiday season in America, it has
changed its appearance and taste
much more drastically over the
years than has its mince-meat
cousin.
Shortly after the Pilgrims ar
rived in the New World, failure
of the grain crops resulted irf a
shortage of -four for pastry.
However, their craving for bak-
cry delicacies was satisfied be-
cause of the never-failing pump
kin crop which the Indians had
taught them to raise. Pilgrim
women used pumpkin -four to
make pastry goods and the filing
also was made from the pumpkin
after it had been cooked and
sweetened with sugar and honey.

apples.
1t was not until the sea trade,
on which the early colonists de-
pended, was free to bring in the
spices of the West Indies and the
Orient, that the pumpkin pie be-
gan to taste anything like it does
today. And it was the early Penn
sylvania Dutch cooks who are
credited with developing the fiat
pie as we know it now and with
making the greatest improve
ments in all types Of pies.
