LOL, been there too...:)
I kept meaning to look at this curious recipe on YouTube but I would get distracted and forget to go back, thank you and I will try. :)
I’ve never seen grape pie in any restaurant in Arizona, or any store. Deep fried ice cream is more popular
I bet you heard of Marionberry pie.
I spent the first 35 years of my life (minus college) in Connecticut. I have NEVER seen nor heard of a “grape” pie. Apple would be #1, followed by pumpkin pie and blueberry. It is NEW ENGLAND! We do apples, pumpkins and blueberries! We don’t make “grape pie”.
In GA we do peach pie, pecan pie, sweet potato pie and apple pie. 😊
My favorite fruit pie is pear, strawberry and apple. I like to mix the three and put them all in an Italian crust.
If i’m not in the mood for fruit, it’s french silk.
That is one of my favorites. I grill fresh baby artichokes to add to mine.
Crackin pie!!
Grape pie - seeds: Before the school system across the back yard sprayed their grass for weeds we had a multi-variety vineyard and had lots of grapes. My dear wife found a recipe for grape pie in her old Betty Crocker cookbook with directions on how to prepare the grapes, so she decided to make one. The ones we had were all seeded varieties, but Concords were the most abundant. The pie was really good, but I never asked her to make it again. The preparation involved squeezing the insides out of every grape and she thinks the seeds were removed by running the skinned grapes through the food foley. This was between 40-50 years ago. I am sure that the commercially prepared grape pies use a less labour intensive process. She has made many fine pies since then including an almost yearly gooseberry.
Also to be recommended for Thanksgiving, in addition to the regular pumpkin using a pumpkin pie recipe - green stripped Cushaw chiffon. It has a milder flavor than pumpkin.
I’m sure seeding concords for pie is a pain in the ass
They love sour cherry stuff in the Leelanau peninsula
