When life hands you grapes, make…..pie? Wait, don’t stop reading! I know it sounds like an odd pie filling but it is delicious. It’s somewhere between grape juice, grape jam and wine! It’s beyond delicious! seriously try this Ruby Red Grape Pie.

I got the recipe from a coworker who raved about it! I threw in some of my own twists and modified the recipe to be a little less loose. My first attempt was a little too watery for my taste, but some more time cooking the grapes and additional cornstarch fixes that! Who would have thought that regular ‘ol red grapes could create something so unique!

I really love how this pie can be made anytime of the year. Most pies are seasonal, or at the very least have a holiday attachment. And we don’t normally go outside of those parameters for making pies. Maybe this pie will change that because it is delicious all year long and because you can find red grapes at the grocery store easily, this pie can easily be made. Forget about the holidays and make a pie just because! But if you’re in the mood for a traditional pie, I’ve made some other varieties such as my Apple Crumble Pie.

I’m also very excited because in a week I am going to New Orleans with two of my best friends from college! It’s been years since we’ve all been together and we are soooo excited to visit New Orleans because of all of the food! I’ve heard great things about grilled oysters, beignets, jambalaya, etouffee, and all of the great creole food. And As corny and touristy as it sounds, I really want to do a swamp tour because who knows when I’ll ever be back to see the bayou! Ahhh May is going to be a great month packed full of traveling and I can’t wait!
