Great consistency and sweet/tart balance. One note - I made half the filling, and it was enough for a 9 inch pie.

So back out to the garden for more grapes. Our vines are from some that my grandfather had planted on our farm years ago. Like the movie "Our Vines have Tender Grapes" I've lived on the family farm for the last 5 years and always have loved the fruits of our labors and share them with all we know. A gift from the garden or kitchen is better than anything one could buy. My fussy city bred husband who won't touch my rhubarb pie, loved this one.

One fall morning years ago my fiance (now my husband) and I saw a recipe for grape pie and, concord grapes being close by, decided to make one. We both remember spending the whole afternoon squishing the grapes out of the skins, which we didn't add back to the grape mixture. Our pie didn't have a crumble topping either, but I do remember how delicious it was. This recipe is a welcome find. I'll make one soon! (And yes, I vividly remember Strawberry Shortcake et al) Thanks for this!

I just juiced 50 pounds of grapes and am going back for 50 more if they're not out already. Found your website by accident when I was searching to see if the were any other places to get Concord grapes around here! Haven't found any but those two. YUM!

Even Jeremy ate three pieces, which was more than I expected. I almost liked those figurines more than the Strawberry Shortcake ones, I think because of the long crooked arms and legs. I was always very careful to maintain Sour Grapes' up-do, too. :) Peabody, please do give it a try and let me know what you think. The color alone makes it worthwhile: Hello, pretty purple antioxidants! Deborah, it is delicious. Even Jeremy ate three pieces, which was more than I expected.
