Concord grapes needed

by DLuckenbau » Tue Jan 15, 2008 4:44 pm

Does anyone know a website or somewhere I could buy 1-2 quarts of Concord grapes for a grape pie recipe? I live in NJ and they are out of season right now. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum!

I don't know for sure, but I suspect you're going to have a tough time with this unless you're willing to use frozen fruit. Concord grapes are very much regional to the Northeastern US and Canada, and they're only in season in the fall.

I wonder if you could substitute other red table grapes, whatever's available at local grocers. Maybe taste-test a few in hope of finding a variety that offers that distinctive Concord "country style" flavor?

Thank you, Robin, for your response. The recipe is for a grape pie, which unfortunately calls for the concord variety. It yields a pie similar in flavor to Welch's grape jelly, but better. :) I was giving this site as possibly having them in March/April from Chile.
