Pumpkin Pie Origins
The name pumpkin originated from the Greek word for large melon: “pepon.” ​
​
1621 – Early American settlers of the Plymouth Colony in southern New England (1620-1692), may have made pumpkin pies, of sorts, without crusts. They stewed pumpkins or filled a hollowed out pumpkin shell with milk, honey and spices, and then baked it in hot ashes.
1796 – By the early 18th century pumpkin pie had earned a place at the table, as Thanksgiving became an important New England regional holiday. Amelia Simmons’ pioneering 1796 “American Cookery” contained a pair of pumpkin pie recipes, one of which similar to today’s custard version.
​2010 – The world’s largest pumpkin pie was made on Sept. 25, 2010, in New Bremen, Ohio, at the New Bremen Pumpkinfest. The final pie weighed 3,699 pounds and measured 20 feet in diameter. That’s quite a feat of pumpkin pie baking!​

Poached Pear in Frangipane Origins
Poached pears in wine (or Poire à la Beaujolais) is a classic French dessert that originated in the wine-growing territories of Burgundy and Lyon. The French used it as a way to consume fruits that were not ripening to their liking on the tree; this way the fruit would not go to waste. ​
By combining peeled pears with wine and a bouquet of spices, the people in that region was able to maximize their harvest while creating a dish that highlights the fruit's natural sweetness. ​This poached pears in red wine recipe offers a warming dessert option or an elegant brunch dish for a family get-together.

Mulled Plum Pie Origins
Plum pie has a long history that dates back to medieval times. It was a popular dessert in England during the 16th and 17th centuries. In those times, plum pie was typically made with a mixture of dried plums, also known as prunes. The pie was often sweetened with honey or sugar and thickened with flour or breadcrumbs.
​
During the Victorian era, fresh plums began to replace dried plums in plum pie recipes, and the pie became even more popular. The use of fresh plums allowed for a juicier and more flavorful filling that didn't require as much sugar to sweeten.
Today, there are many variations of plum pie, including those made with different types of plums, such as Damson plums or Italian plums, and those flavored with spices, such as cardamom or star anise.

Whiskey Ball Origins
A whiskey ball is a Southern American delicacy invented by Ruth Hanly Booe of Rebecca Ruth Candy in 1938. Kentucky’s most famous candy in its original version is a melt-in-your-mouth combination of pecans, bourbon (a type of whiskey) and chocolate.
​
Whiskey balls come in many different shapes, sizes, and flavors, but are usually bite-sized confections incorporating bourbon and dark chocolate as the main ingredients. Whiskey-infused balls may be described as having more of a subtle kick.
The most common variation for home cooked recipes is regional to the southern United States and incorporates crushed cookies, corn syrup, chopped pecans, and bourbon into a mixture that is formed into balls and coated in powdered sugar to prevent the evaporation of the alcohol.

Cookies + Brownies = Brookies
The concept of a brookie has probably been around for ages hidden away in family recipes until 2014 when brookies really gain national status in America.
Jovon English, the owner of Los Angeles-based Milk + Brookies, presented Brookies to the investor pitch show Shark Tank in October 2015. ​Around the same time, two popular pizza chains were hopping on the brookie bandwagon - Domino's and Papa John's.
​In September 2015, Domino’s unveiled the Marble Cookie Brownie, a nine-square cookie/brownie hybrid. In 2016, Papa John’s brookie featured the cookie underneath the brownie and served like a pie.​

Zucchini Sheds the Pound
The Zucchini loaf cake has a sweet and moist flavor with a texture that is slightly dense and crumbly. The summer squash, on its own, has a mild and slightly sweet flavor. When baked in a cake batter, a slightly nutty taste is given off. An addition of walnuts is your choice.
The sweetness of the bread comes from the natural sweetness of the zucchini, which also keeps the bread moist.
Overall, zucchini bread has a deliciously spiced flavor that is perfect for Tea or as a dessert.
Zucchini Pound Cake Origins
‘Zucchini’ originated from the Italian word ‘zucca,’ meaning squash. Several theories propose that this vegetable may have come from Mexico thousands of years before arriving in Italy, specifically from 7000 to 5500 B.C. Although zucchini has been around for millennia, it remains the main ingredient in most Mexican cuisines.
As the story goes, Italian immigrants brought zucchini back to North America in the 1920s where native Americans enjoyed it for its ability to be eaten raw. To make the zucchini loaf, cake batter is put into cake pans and then baked in the oven. There is an abundance of zucchini cake recipes such as chocolate chip zucchini cake, cinnamon zucchini cake, and lemon zucchini cake. It can be served in slices spread with jam, butter, or peanut butter.

Apricot Tart Origins
Apricot pie has been enjoyed for centuries. The apricot is native to China and has been cultivated there for over 3,000 years. As trade routes expanded, the apricot made its way to other parts of the world, including the Middle East, where it became a popular ingredient in many traditional dishes. Apricot pies were often served at celebrations and feasts, and the recipe gradually spread throughout Europe.
In the United States, apricot pie became popular in the early 1900s, particularly in the Midwest where apricot trees thrived. The pie was often made with a lattice crust and served with a dollop of whipped cream. Today, apricot pie remains a popular dessert in many parts of the world, and recipes have evolved to include variations such as apricot and almond tart and apricot crumble pie.

Mr. Green Pistachio
Feeling a bit nutty, our American Pistachio pie will satisfy your cravings. Calling on all Pistachio lovers, our pie is addictive and super rich in flavor.
At Lloyds, we retain the natural taste and color of the pistachios by using a special no-bake recipe. We make our own pistachio paste from freshly grounded pistachio kernels. All healthy and yum!​
​
Pistachio nuts are not only tasty and fun to eat, but also highly nutritious. They have a rich amount of vitamin B6, calcium, and protein and contain high levels of unsaturated fatty acids and potassium.
The Evolution of Pistachio Pie
The evidence of pistachio intake can be traced back 300,000 years. Nowadays, they’re very popular in many dishes, including ice cream and desserts. The modern Pistachio Pie started off as a “Cream” which was a popular 18th century dessert, similar to a custard or flummery.
In nearly every 18th century cookbook, there are at least a few recipes for different flavors of cream. The pistachio-flavored version comes from the cookbook of John Farley, who was the head cook at the London Tavern, a popular tavern and meeting place during the 18th and 19th centuries. As the recipe has evolved, variations have arisen with different ingredients on whether to bake it or not and the type of crust that is used.

Yes, another pie that can be seen as a healthier dessert!​
According to food historian Adrian Miller, the trail begins in Peru, where sweet potatoes originated. As early as the 16th century, Spanish traders shipped sweet potatoes from the Americas across the Atlantic Ocean to Western Europe.
After its arrival to North America and Europe via the transatlantic slave trade, the sweet potato thrived in the Southern states due to the plant’s predisposition for growing in warmer climates. ​Wealthy American colonial kitchens eagerly adopted the latest culinary trends out of England, and the Big Houses at plantations in the antebellum South were no exception.
​After the Emancipation, sweet potato pies were the South’s preferred pie, as well as an African American favorite. As millions of African Americans left the South for different parts of the country, they took their love of sweet potato pies with them, resulting in a national profile for a perpetually regional dessert.
