Muscadine Grape Hull Pie

MAKES ONE 9-INCH PIE

Sweet heavenly days! This is a pie from the past that belongs in the present and future! profoundly purple with the color from the thick, pungent hulls of Muscadine grapes, this pie’s sweet flavor is memorable and pure. Muscadine grapes are an American original, native to the wild woods of the Atlantic seaboard and over the appalachian mountains. Southerners have never been at a loss as to what to do with such natural bounty, eating them out of hand, cooking them down into jellies and syrups, fermenting their juices into wine, and capturing their glory in this old-timey pie. You can use deep reddish colored Muscadines, tawny golden-green scuppernongs, or even Concord grapes—a northern cousin that is available more widely as a commercial crop. You’ll find scuppernongs and Muscadines in eastern and southern farmers’ markets, farm stands, and some supermarkets for a short window in the early fall. Buy some, eat them up, and cook them down, to enjoy through the winter in the traditional way.
