Traditional Holiday Pies
Have Interesting History
It's pumpkin-pie and mince-pie
time again! These traditional fa
vorites in America since before
the War for Independence now
arc being featured by bakers
throughout America, to grace the
tables in millions of homes at the
Holiday Season.
The exact origin of mince pie
has been lost in antiquity, but it
is known that the pie’s ingredi
ents once sym
bolized the
gifts of the
Magi and its
shape, origi
nally oval, rep
resented the
cradle of the
Christ Child.
Frequent
reference to this Christmas fa
vorite in English literature dat
ing as far back as the Fifteenth
century, enabled the American
Bakers Association to recon
struct the appearance and con
tents of the mince pie and cus
toms surrounding it over the
centuries.
Always considered an essential
part in the Christmas observ
ances in England, the pies once
were more of a main course than
a dessert. They contained a large
portion of boiled pork mixed with
minced dates, cloves, mace, rais
ins, salt and ginger during the
reign of King Henry V.
Boiled pork was replaced by
finely shredded mutton as the
chief ingredient in the mince
meat pies at the time of Henry
VIII, Edward VI, and Queens
Mary and Elizabeth. Thick rolls
of dough were used to line large
deep-sided dishes and this in turn
was covered with another layer
•if thick pastry to form the top
crust of the pie.
In America, the fruit content I
of the pn h,auuaUy was .
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 serson 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 in a
shortage of flour for pastry.
However, their craving for bak
ery delicacies was satisfied be
cause of the never-failing pump
kin crop which the Indians had
taught them to raise. Pilgrim
women used pumpkin flour to
make pastry goods and the filling
also was made from the pumpkin
after it had been cooked and
sweetened with sugar and honey.
For many years before, a va
riety of gourd
similar to the
American
pumpkin was
cultivated and
eaten through
out Europe. An
early English
recipe called
for the “Pom
pion” itself to be stuffed with
apples.
It was not until the sea trade,
op 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 flat
pie as we know it now and with
making the greatest improve
ments in all types of pies.
