Favorite Grape Pie

« From the episode: The Grape Grower

Ingredients:

4 cups (approximately 1 kg) of tart seedless* grapes

1 1/4 cups (253 g) of sugar

1/3 cup (79 ml) tapioca

Cook these ingredients together until thickened, then add

1 Tablespoon (15 g) of butter.

Instructions:

Use this mixture as filling for a two crust (top and bottom crust) pie. Sprinkle the top crust with sugar and bake at 400℉ (205℃) for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.

*For this pie, D.C. would accept only a blue seedless grape from Vineland, Ontario, “VeePie”, though “Glenora” and “Seedless Concord” will work.

-This was the favorite of the late D.C. Paschke of North East, Pennsylvania who worked with grapes for nearly 80 years before his passing at 101 1/2. This recipe is from D.C’s daughter-in-law Shirley Paschke.

Serves 6-8 people
