Green Grape Blueberry Pie Recipes

GRAPE PIE

Steps:

• Wash the grapes.
• Slip the skin off the grapes. Gently squeeze the grapes until the green pulp pops out and separates from the skin. Put the pulp in a sauce pan and the grape skins in a separate bowl.
• Place the saucepan with the pulp on medium heat and bring to boiling. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes. The pulp should break down and the seeds should start floating freely.
• Put the boiled pulp through a colander to remove the seeds. Put the pulp in the same bowl as the grape skins.
• Add the tapioca and sugar to the bowl of grape skins and grape pulp and stir well.
• Refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour to allow it to gel.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Roll out a pie crust and put it in the bottom of the pie tin.
• Pour the chilled filling into the pie crust.
• Top the pie with a floating crust or lattice or just cut some vent holes in the top crust.
• If you like brush the pie crust with an egg wash made from a beaten egg to make it brown nicely.
• Put a cookie sheet under the pie in the oven because the filling tends to bubble over the edges of the pie plate.
• Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes. Then check the edges and cover them with a pie shield or foil if they are brown.
• Continue to bake until the middle of the crust is light brown, about 30 minutes.
• Makes enough filling for one 9" pie or three 4" mini pies

NO BAKE BLUEBERRY PIE RECIPE (LOW SUGAR)

Steps:

• Prepare pie crust, depending on what you're using* (make, bake, and/or thaw). Have crust ready and cooled before proceeding with the recipe.
• In a 3-quart saucepan combine the syrup, arrowroot or cornstarch, salt, and water, whisking until smooth. Add 3 cups of the blueberries and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Cook 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
• TIP: If using fresh berries, most might be still whole - use a potato masher to mash some of the berries until the filling takes on a blue color and about half of the berries are still intact.
• Add butter, lemon juice, zest, and the remaining 1 cup of blueberries. Stir until the butter has melted.
• Cool 10 minutes before pouring into prepared pie crust. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours or overnight (the longer the refrigeration, the easier it will be to cut).
• 1 to 2 hours before serving, add the cream and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer (or large mixing bowl to use with a hand-held mixer). Whip until soft peaks form.
• Spread the topping over the pie filling evenly. Refrigerate until serving.
• Serve with additional blueberries sprinkled on top, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers for 1-2 days in air proof containers.

GRAPE PIE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the grapes with the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan.
• Cook for 15-20 minutes on medium heat. Use a potato masher to squash some of the grapes as they cook. Stir occasionally as it bubbles to prevent it from burning. Turn down the heat if it begins to scorch. You want to cook off a good part of the moisture from the grapes so the filling will not be runny.
• Allow the filling to cool to room temperature. While the grapes are cooking and cooling, prepare the crust.
• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Using a pastry blender, combine the flour, shortening, butter, and salt in a large bowl. Work the fat into the flour until you have pea-sized pieces of fat.
• Add the water a few teaspoons at a time while mixing the dough just until the dough sticks together when pinched.
• Combine the dough and form into 2 balls. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
• On a well floured surface, roll one of the balls of dough into a 12-inch circle.
• Lay the dough into the pie tin.
• Roll out the other ball of dough into a 12-inch circle. Cut out a design on the top of the dough. You can use a straw to make a grape design, if desired.
• Pour the cooled filling into the pie crust. Place the second crust on the top. Crimp the edges using a fork or tuck the dough under and crimp with your fingers. Dust the top of the pie with granulated sugar.
• Place the pie on the lowest baking rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Check the pie after the first 30 minutes. If the crust begins to darken too much, turn the heat down to 350 F.
• Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.

VIOLET DOWDA'S GREEN GRAPE PIE FROM NANNY'S RECIPES

(In Texas we have the wild grapes-I have not tried this yet- I am going to try it w/store bought green grapes.).
• Combine the cooked grapes with all other ingredients, pour into a pie crust and top with remaining crust sealing edges. Make slits in the top crust for vents. Sprinkle w/a wee bit of cinnamon and sugar.
• You may have to use a crust guard or foil over the edges of the pie the first half of baking to prevent browning to fast.
• Mrs. Dowda notes that this is a fast seller at the church bazaars.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 25 min more or until browned.
