Mix sour cream with about 1 T sugar and vanilla and spread over pie. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Serve. NOTES: * Fruit pie made from green seedless grapes -- This recipe came originally from the _Los Angeles Times Magazine_. It's unusual: I'd never before thought of using grapes in a pie before. But it's good! : Difficulty: easy to moderate (burns easily). : Time: 30 minutes. : Precision: approximate measurement OK. : Michelle Berteig : Caltech, Pasadena, California, USA : michelle@tybalt.caltech.edu : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
