GREAT GORPIES

Steps:

• Before you start you should just know that the handfuls are adult handfuls.
• If children are making this then they should use 2-3 child-sized handfuls.
• Cream the butter/marg and the brown sugar till smooth.
• Add all the handfuls.
• Mix well, then add the flour and baking soda.
• Add the milk.
• Drop by tablespoons on to a greased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until done.
• Leave on the cookie sheet a minute or two before lifting them off, as they might crumble.
• The ratio of handfuls can be adjusted- you might want to go heavier on the raisins and peanuts and lighter on the chocolate chips, although why anyone would want less chocolate is totally beyond me!

CONCORD GRAPE PIE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a sheet pan on the lower oven rack.
• Wash and stem grapes; squeeze grapes out of their skins. Save the skins and set aside. Place grape pulp in a large saucepan; mash a few at the bottom to release their juice. Cook over medium-low heat until grapes come to a full boil. Remove pulp from heat, and press through a food mill to remove seeds. Combine pulp and skins in a large bowl. Stir in lemon juice.
• In a separate bowl, mix sugar, flour, and salt. Stir into grape mixture. Pour filling into pastry crust, and dot with butter. Cover with second pastry shell. Flute edges, and cut little slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
• In preheated oven on sheet pan for 45 to 50 minutes, or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in top crust. Allow to cool before serving.
