Grape Pie- for Concord grapes-

There are two sets of ingredients, for a larger and a smaller pie

6-1/4 cups grapes(4 cups)  
1-1/2 cups sugar(1 cup)  
5-1/2 tablespoons flour(10-1/4 teaspoons)  
2-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice(1-3/4 teaspoons)  
pinch of salt

First you slip the grapes out of their skins, reserving the skins. Place the  
grape pulp in a small saucepan and simmer briefly, then mash them through a  
sieve of some sort, to separate the seeds. Mix grape pulp, skins, sugar,  
flour and lemon juice and pour into a pie crust. It will seem pretty runny.I used a whole top crust that I egg washed and sprinkled with sugar. I’ve also seen suggestions for a lattice crust or a crumble topping. I baked this larger pie at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, for an hour. When it cooled I put it in the fridge to set up.  
It gave a nice juicy filling without being too runny. The color was grape purple after baking.
