There’s no question that pie is a staple in American homes during the holidays. Pie has that inevitable quality to bring together a family after a hard-earned holiday meal to enjoy some good old family tradition. An intimate family conversation that brings all family members closer every holiday is the cornerstone for every bite of pie.
The whole story, according to Wholly Wholesome, is few Americans realize the history that goes into the pies they enjoy today. Originally called a “coffin” (meaning “basket” or “box”), the pie was the beginning of every holiday meal. For hundreds of years, tracing back to our great ancestors, every meal was baked into a crusty shell and served warm with meat filling the interior. Then, pies were considered a necessity. Today, however, pies are considered a culinary delight. Our beloved pie is so special that it is now saved for family gatherings and a sweet treat after meals.
“Pies have been a central part of our family celebrations for generations,” explains Doon Wintz. “My sister, Bonnie, and I have a friendly competition at holiday meals. She makes her famous pecan pies and I make pumpkin or ice cream pies. It’s a real treat to pass along our family’s tradition through wholesome, natural and organic baked-goods. We understand the importance of family and how food brings them together in a really special way.”
Pies have a serendipitous appeal for every taste bud, from apple and pumpkin pies to blueberry and cherry and serendipitous tastes call for serendipitous recipes, including the one here for Bonnie’s Pecan Pie. Everyone can enjoy this Wholly Wholesome recipe this holiday season, including special dieters.
