Grape Pie

Another goodie from my great grandmother. It turns lips and tongue purple, which is a real hit with kids.

• 1 qt Concord grapes
  
• 3/4 c Sugar
  
• 1-1/2 tsp Lemon juice
  
• 1 T Orange rind, grated
  
• 1 T Instant tapioca
  
• 1 Pie crust (bottom and top)
  

Slip grapes out of skins, saving skins. Cook pulps until seeds loosen, then press through sieve to remove seeds. Mix pulp, skins, sugar, lemon juice, orange rind, and tapioca. Let stand 5 minutes.

Pour into 9" pie pan lined with pastry, cover with pastry strips. Bake 10 minutes in "hot oven" reduce heat and bake an additional 20 minutes.

This is verbatim, written in fountain pen. I take hot oven to mean 400, and then turn it down to 350.
