Concord Grape Pie

1. Prepare and roll out pastry. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry; trim and crimp edge as desired. Set aside.

2. Remove skins from grapes by gently pressing each grape between your fingers. The skins will slip off easily. Set skins aside. In a large saucepan bring grape pulp to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Sieve the pulp to remove the seeds. Add the grape skins to the pulp.

3. In a large mixing bowl stir together the 3/4 cup sugar, the 1/3 cup flour, and salt. Stir in the grape mixture, melted butter or margarine, and lemon juice. Pour mixture into the pastry-lined pie plate. To prevent overbrowning, cover the edge of the pie with foil. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 20 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, stir together the 1/2 cup flour and the 1/2 cup sugar. Cut in the 1/4 cup butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Remove foil from pie. Sprinkle crumb mixture over pie. Bake about 25 minutes more or until topping is golden. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 8 servings.
