December 23: Take a Unique Twist on Traditional Pies This Christmas
Looking for a new way to present your Christmas pies? Check out these recipes for twists on traditional desserts. Romans started making meat pies from recipes learned from the Greeks. Fruit pies started being made in the 1500's. Early colonists to the US enjoyed pies too although they often ate the filling and never the crust.
With all this history behind the pie, the sheer number of online food recipes is almost overwhelming. If you want to try an old favorite, go for a unique version of the mincemeat pie. It is actually fruit, not meat, and its roots date back to 13th century Britain. Our Dishfolio food bloggers have created a vast selection of interesting varieties to spice up traditional pecan, pumpkin, and apple pies! Add a twist to your favorite Christmas dessert this year with these great ideas!
