Grape Juice Pie
Not too sweet, slightly sour, but oh so good!

- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/3 cups grape juice (I used 100% Concord grape juice)
- 1 egg. slightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 baked (9-inch) pastry shell
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Combine sugar and cornstarch in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in grape juice; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Cook 1 minute.
Add a small amount of hot mixture to egg, mixing well; stir egg mixture into remaining hot mixture. Add butter and lemon juice; return to heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; boil gently 1 minute. Cool. Pour into pastry shell; chill thoroughly.
Combine heavy cream and sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Spread on pie; chill.
