You know what's awesome? Grape pie. Seriously. I randomly decided I was going to make pie with grapes last week and bought a bunch of them, and Mom looked at me like my head had fallen off or something. xD;
Anyway~ I come bearing a recipe this time. USE IT, DAMMIT. I COMMAND YOU.
-1 bag of seedless, red grapes (you know how grapes come in their own perforated bags? A full one of those.)
-1/2 cup pulp-free orange juice
-3 cups white sugar
-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
-1/2 teaspoon allspice
-1 teaspoon cinnamon
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-10 tablespoons of flour (whatever that equals, lmao I fail)
1) Pull grapes from stems (obviously); make sure there are no bits of stems in them. Rinse them off well under the tap.
2) Mix grapes, OJ, sugar, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and vanilla in a pot; heat over medium just long enough to melt the sugar.
3) Pull pot from heat, mix in flour.
4) Pour mix into pie shells; place in 325 degree preheated oven, bake for 1/2 hour.
5) After one hour, change the temp to 450 degrees, and bake for a further 5-10 minutes, until the crust has browned.
6) DONE. =D
You could switch out seedless purple grapes for another kind if you like, but you'd probably have to adjust the sugar depending on the kind, and if they have seeds in them, you'd have to spend the time cutting them in half and taking the seeds out before hand. You can also adjust the spices however you like, of course, but this mix is really good. <3
I don't generally put a top crust on my pies (unless someone specifically asks me to), but if you do, a good way to brown/crisp/caramelize the top is to brush melted butter over it and then sprinkle a bit of brown sugar overtop (kosher sugar works well too; the kind with the bigger pieces than regular white sugar) before putting it into the oven. :)
This recipe makes two pies. Cut everything in half if you're only making one. (lmao, I never make just one pie at a time because I always feed all kind of other people with them too, haha~)
This is my own recipe, and I'm really proud of it~~ =3
