Concord Grape Pie

 

Peel 8 cups concord grapes. Set peels aside. (I used about four and it still worked well.)

Simmer grapes insides/seeds for 5-6 minutes.

Strain to get all seeds out.

In a bowl put cooked strained grape insides, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 cup maple syrup, zest of one small orange, and one pinch of salt.

Let this mixture sit for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Make a pie crust on the side. Pour filling in. Cover with more crust. (Puncture top for steam to escape.)

Put in oven with a cookie sheet underneath to catch drippings.

Bake 400 degrees for 20 min. Then turn down oven temp.

350 degrees 45-50 min til lightly browned on top.

Cool before serving to allow pie to set.
