Grape hull pie explained
Grape hull pie, also called muscadine pie, is a dessert found in the cuisine of the Southern United States.
History
The dish is traditionally made out of muscadine grapes, which are indigenous to the southeastern United States.[1] Grape hull pie was created as a way to use the skins left over from preparing grape jelly instead of wasting them.[2] It is commonly prepared in North Carolina where it is a part of traditional cuisine. Humorist Celia Rivenbark described her early memories of the dish in an essay for The Carolina Table.[3] [4]
Preparation
The pie is prepared by simmering the skins, or "hulls", of muscadine grapes together with sugar, grape pulp and lemon juice.[5] [6] Seeds are removed from the mixture by straining[7] or picking them out.[8] The filling is then poured into a double pie crust and baked.[9] [10]
