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
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]
