We know the Native Americans had cranberries in their diet and were the people that introduced the new settlers to the fruit. Additionally, they greeted them with pumpkins and squash as a welcoming gift.
It wasn’t until the 17 century that pumpkins were exported to France, where custard filling was created. Next, the pie recipe migrated to the United Kingdom and Canada, and by the 19 century, it became a Thanksgiving staple in America.
