Grape Hull Pie
- 5 cups stemmed, washed, Concord or other variety labrusca grapes, or muscadines
- 13 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 23 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest or minced orange rind
- 1 9-inch pie shell and top
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Separate grape pulps from skins, reserving each separately.
- Using a food processor or blender, roughly chop grape skins with a few short pulses, and set aside.
- Place grape pulp and liquid in a medium nonreactive saucepan, and bring to a simmer over low heat.
- Stir occasionally, uncovered, until pulps dissolve and seeds float free, about 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly.
- Place a wire mesh strainer over a bowl, and strain grape mixture to remove seeds, stirring and pressing pulp through mesh; discard seeds.
- Combine pulp and reserved grape skins in a clean saucepan, and place over low heat.
- Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until skins soften, stirring occasionally.
- Add sugar, flour, lemon juice and orange zest, blending into grape mixture with a whisk.
- Pour mixture into pie shell.
- Slice butter into four pats and place on top of pie.
- Add top dough to pie, and crimp edges to seal.
- Cut three or four slits in top to vent.
- Place pan on a baking sheet in oven, and bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
