5 cups grapes (Concords work best)
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Your favorite pie crust
Preheat your oven to 450° F.
Squeeze washed grapes from skins. Set skins aside. Place grapes in a saucepan and pulp lightly with a masher. Simmer over low heat until soft. Cool and run through a strainer to remove the seeds. Combine the skins and pulp and return to heat and let simmer for a few minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice and arrowroot powder. Add the grapes along with the sugar.
Pour the grape mixture into a pastry-crust lined pie plate, cover with top crust and bake for 10 minutes at 450F on a foil lined baking sheet. Reduce heat in oven to 350 and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
Allow pie to cool completely before cutting.
Makes one pie.
