Grape Juice Cobbler

My Grandma used to make grape jelly every summer....yum!    When she was cooking down the grapes for the jelly she used to take some of the sweet juice and make a grape juice cobbler....no fruit...just juice.

The grape vines behind the studio have grapes on them this year for the first time and since I don't make jelly....what can I do with a few bowls of grapes.

I remembered how good those cobblers were and decided to try to make one.   I don't have my grandma's recipe,  but I have made cobblers before ....so I decided to give it a try.

I started with about 2 full cups of grapes....covered them with water ....and added 1/2 cup of sugar....then I simmered them on medium heat for about 15 minutes.    The kind of grapes we have in the garden are pretty sweet already,  so I didn't add much sugar.

3/4 Cup flour..........1/4 c Crisco......dash of salt.....about 3 T cold water ....made just about the right amount of crust for our small cobbler.      (4 servings)
In the first photo you can see how I sprinkled some sugar on the top crust and added a few pats of butter.    The second photo shows how I cut the other half of the crust in pieces and layered it with the grape juice.    Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until done.

 I cook "old school" so the measurements are not exact....lol!

I had a little crust left,  so I sprinkled it with sugar and cinnamon and baked it in the oven with the cobbler for about 10 min.   We snacked on that while we waited for the cobbler to bake.

Grape juice cobbler with a dollop of  whipped cream and a cup of tea or coffee makes a perfect dessert to enjoy after lunch!
