    Upstate NY has a thriving wine industry and Naples, NY, is considered its grape capital. I’d love to attend their Grape Festival some year. The town and the festival are renowned for their grape pies.

    According to Google, the St Januarius church still exists and has a grape leaf-inspired floorplan and stained glass windows representing local grapes. So these people are clearly legit!

    I’ve tried the grape frappe on pg 4. It’s not bad but very sweet and I wasn’t sure what to really use it for. I also tried the first grape pie recipe, which was quite good. Concord grapes are hard to come by here so I’ll probably try more of the recipes using muscadines.

    I’m fascinated by the dueling grape and pineapple jam recipes — one calling for 1.5 cups sugar and one for 6.5 cups, otherwise close to the same.

    That is way more grape pie than I never needed

    These pictures are wonderful. Just like reading the book.
