Every part of the US has its own characteristic desserts. Some are widely popular and prepared elsewhere as well, and most people cannot tell where these recipes came from any more. Among various old pastry recipes in New England, some came from Europe, some are changed over time, adapted or enriched, and some are still used in their original form.
