Grape Pie

ms_bold's Note:

A deliciously different fruit pie. I like to use a combination of red and green grapes. Pie could be topped with a lattice crust instead of the leaf cut-outs.

I think this pie is delish!! It tastes very much like a cherry pie. I loved it!

I needed to use up some grapes but I could have put them to a better use than this. It's not inedible, it's just that I know now I will avoid grapes in a pie. Also, my grapes were sweet but I still think it could use more sugar if someone else tries this.

Similar to the one I have made from BH&G. Mine calls wine instead of grape juice but same amount. Nice variation.
