Claire Ptak's Grape Slab Pie
Grape pie is something that caught my eye in a Martha Stewart cookbook published in 1985. This was one of my ‘textbooks’ and I made every pie in it, at least once. Nothing can compare to the flavour of Concord or Fragola grapes, but they are not as popular because of their astringent skins and large seeds. Although this pie will take you a long time to prepare, it will be so worth it to see the purple smiles of your very satisfied friends.
