The concord grape pie is the shit! It takes a bit longer to make then most pies....but it is fucking worth it. The process is as follows: shuck each grape. one by one you squeeze the grapes. put the skins in one bowl and the gooey eye-bally stuff in a pot that will go on the stove. One pie uses 4 cups of grapes. This process seems daunting but as you can see below I made myself a strong cup of coffee, and the job went by quick. I forget what I was listening too at the time. Alright, so, when you are all done put the pot on the stove top and simmer for 5-7 min. This will allow the seeds to loosen from the goo. You will then pour the gooey grape matter threw a colander and with a rubber spatula work the goo threw.Yeah I said that.
Now you add the skins back to the unseeded goo. and whisk in 2 tablespoons cornstarch, sugar (this is up to you how much you want to put in) I did some maple syrup and some sugar. and depending how sweet your grapes are??? just taste it. that is the only way to tell. you can add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon. I like to put nutmeg in the crust instead of in the fruit.
pick/skin/cut your fruit. place into a bowl and add any kind of sugar you want.
if the fruit is all runny and shit then add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. This will make the fruit filling gel after it cools.
with apple and pear filling add cinnamon.
with cherry add a tiny pinch of nutmeg.
biggest pie boner you can pull: cutting into your pie before it FULLY cools. we call this impatient pie at my house.
Got the part about impatient. TX as ever Andy VK
