===New England===
Mincemeat pie was brought to [[New England]] by English settlers in the 17th century.<ref name="PHM">{{cite web | url=http://www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org/pdf/Thanksgiving_and_New_England_Pie.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121222235152/http://www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org/pdf/Thanksgiving_and_New_England_Pie.pdf |archive-date=2012-12-22 |url-status=live | title=Thanksgiving and the New England Pie | publisher=Pilgrim Hall Museum | date=November–December 2002 | access-date=3 December 2015 | author=Peggy M.

The ingredients for New England mincemeat pie are similar to the British one, with a mixture of apples, raisins, spices, and minced beef serving as the filling.<ref name="PHM" /> Later recipes sometimes omit the beef, though "None Such" (now owned by [[The J.M. Smucker Company]]), the major brand of condensed American mincemeat, still contains beef. New England mincemeat pies are usually full-sized pies, as opposed to the individual-sized pies now common in Britain.
