I’ve heard of Concord grape pies but never tasted one. Just picked a surfeit of grapes and want to try making one but would prefer to use someone’s tried-and-true recipe. Have also heard of canning the grape pie filling but guess I won’t know if I want to try that till I taste a pie made with it.
Anyone have a TNT recipe?

I just posted a recipe here:

I haven’t tried this recipe myself, but it comes from one of the little old ladies at church and I’m never disappointed in their recipes. She calls this one her favorite!

Okay, I saved out about 2 cups of grapes and am growing to try this tonight — thanks! I know it only calls for a cup but I’ll probably make a hash of splitting the grapes to get the seeds out neatly and wanted a few extra in case I “juiced” some as I work with them.
Looking at the recipe, it has my curiosity up because 3/4 cup butter seems like a lot for a fruit pie with not much thickener — trying to imagine what the consistency will be. But I’m always game to try a pie recipe from “one of the little old ladies at church” because they ALWAYS make the best dishes. (And I hope to be one of them one of these days!)
