Concord Grape Pie Filling
- Vegetarian
- Simple recipes
Our native Concord grapes have a marvelously rich and foxy flavour, but, because of their seeds, they need to be prepared before baking.
Ingredients
- 6 cups (1.5 L) Concord grapes
- 1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) instant tapioca or cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
- 1 double-crust pie dough
Preparation
Stem grapes. Squeeze off skins; chop skins and set aside. Transfer pulp to heavy-bottomed saucepan; cook, covered, over medium heat until seeds separate, 5 to 8 minutes. Pass through food mill or push through sieve to remove seeds; let cool.
Mix seeded pulp with reserved skins, sugar, instant tapioca and lemon juice. Scrape into prepared pie pastry.
