The fruits also had a cherry-like texture as well, which was exactly what I had hoped. ;) One note though... that with Tapioca as a thickener the pie really needs to cool down completely before cutting into it to properly set up. My first test run pie I cut into it pre-maturely and it was a mess due to not being warm and not fully set. I originally had half the amount of Tapioca and I increased it for this recipe, glad I did as it seemed to be the perfect amount. Your recipe looks really good though, it looks similar to some of the old recipes I saw for Concord Grape Pie. Ain't nothin' wrong with that ;) It was not runny at all, think of how the filling on a perfect cherry pie is and that is how the inside came out on this one.

I'll share the link with the understanding that I have to run one more test cook before I publish it. It is very different than yours. Tell me, how runny was yours? http://amazingribs.com/recipes/desserts/grape_pie_recipe.html Been working on my Grape Pie recipe too, based on an old local recipe from Canandaigua NY where it is a local specialty.

It got really mangled. The inside consistency is just like a juicy Cherry Pie filling. Unfortunately after the judges tore into it, there was not a presentable slice to photograph.

Now all I need is an occasion to make one! That looks great – I’d love to see a photo of a slice to have some idea of the consistency of the interior. Now all I need is an occasion to make one!

Even though grape is not my favorite pie filler, the combination of all the ingredients took it to another level. And apparently, I was not the only one who thought so (or is it a coincidence that both judges made their own grape pies right after the contest? I don't think so).
