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.
