Combine 12 cups grape mash, 6 cups sugar, 3 tbsp lemon juice, and 6 tbsp Clear Jel (if you're using it) in a large stockpot. You can add more sugar if you like it sweeter; just add a little at a time until its the right flavor for you. You could also use honey or maple syrup but those will change the flavor of the filling so don’t add too much.

While the filling is simmering, go ahead and get the jars ready. Technically if you’re processing for longer than 10 minutes you don’t have to use sterilized jars but I still sterilize jars. I bring them to a boil in water with just a little splash of white vinegar (this helps keep your jars pretty if you have hard water).

Learn how to make the best Concord Grape Pie with an easy-to-follow, family recipe. Grape pie with streusel topping has easy, step-by-step instructions full of tips and tricks for making homemade grape pie filling.

Easy Concord Grape Pie with Streusel Topping

washed, de-stemmed concord grapes ((about 2 1/2 lbs. with stems on))

unsalted butter

all-purpose flour

salt

unsalted butter, (softened)

pie crust shell (store bought or homemade)

Preheat over to 400ºF.

Gently squeeze the grapes so the pulp slips out of the skin into a medium saucepan. Separate the skins into a small bowl and set aside to use in pie filling.

Bring pulp of grapes to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and immediately pour through mesh strainer fitted over a bowl to separate seeds from pulp. Press and stir so ALL the pulp is extracted into the bowl. Scrape the bottom of the mesh strainer occasionally to get the pulp from there too. When you are done you should be left with only the seeds, and you won&#x27;t be able to get anymore pulp out. Discard seeds.

Place butter into bowl of hot pulp and let it sit for a few minutes until it melts. When butter is melted, whisk in sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Stir the reserved skins into the pulp mixture.

Pour grape mixture into the unbaked pie shell and prepare the streusel topping. (11/3/2019 NOTE: Some readers have said the filling was too much for their pie. Either split between 2 pie shells or freeze half the filling for future use to not risk pie overflowing.) With a fork mix all ingredients together until butter is well incorporated. Sprinkle topping over pie filling.

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and grape filling is bubbly throughout. Cool for at least an hour before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or at room temperature. Store leftovers on counter, uncovered*.
