Mincemeat or mince pie is a savory pie hailing from across the pond. It’s a traditional British pie served during the holidays.
The buttery and flaky crust is filled with a mix of dried fruits and spices and baked to golden perfection. I’d gladly eat this pie even if it weren’t Christmas.
Fun fact: mince pie goes all the way back to the 13th century, during the time of the Crusaders.
Originally called Christmas pies, they were shaped into ovals to represent the manger that Jesus was born in. A depiction of the baby Jesus was also placed on top of the pie.
The filling, a combination of mixed meats, fruits, and spices, represented the gifts Jesus received from the three Magi. Centuries later, the pies have gotten smaller, rounder, and sweeter.
