Thanks to Marilyn at
Simmer Till Done for suggesting we make a concord grape pie with our
backyard-harvested grapes. I ended up making one with a streusel top and it was sublime! I used this version from
Epicurean.com, making enough pie filling to put up for three future pies as well.
Unbaked 9" pie shell
4 1/2 c. Concord grapes
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. salt
Oat Streusel
For Oat Streusel: Combine 1/2 c. quick-cooking rolled oats, 1/2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed, and 1/4 c. flour. Cut in 1/4 c. butter or regular margarine to distribute evenly.
Pie Directions:
Wash grapes and remove skins by pinching at the end opposite the stem. Reserve skins.

Place pulp in saucepan and bring to a boil; cook a few minutes until the pulp is soft. Put through strainer or food mill, while pulp is hot, to remove seeds.

Mix strained pulp with skins. Stir in sugar, flour, lemon juice and salt.
Place grape mixture in pastry-lined pie pan.

Bake in hot oven (425 degrees F.) 35 to 40 minutes. Note: You can bake filling between two crusts if you prefer pastry instead. Me, I love a good streusel topping.

It looks delicious and the spiced butter does, too. Maybe I need to plant a grapevine?
Definitely you should. I'm thinking of planting another one, but not in the backyard with the dog--apparently grapes really can be lethal for them.
Hey! What kind of food blogger are you, anyway - where's the pie pics?
Arrghh. I knew you'd probably call me on it. They're still on the camera. I'll upload them later. I swear!
