A healthy version of a concord grape tart made with your own grape jam!
Servings: 8 People

Ingredients

  • 1 Bag Concord Grape
  • Juice and Rind of One Lemon
  • 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1 Tart Pan
  • 1 Sprig Thyme

Instructions

  • To make the Grape Jam
    This could be the most time consuming part depending on how seedy your concord grapes are.  If they have many seeds you will need to separate the skins from the pulp.  This is easily done by squeezing the grapes in between your fingers. 
    Place the pulp with the seeds in a sauce pan and place the skin in a separate bowl.  This should take you a good 20 minutes.  It's a great meditation moment.
    Once you have all the pulp in the sauce pan turn on the heat to medium to start cooking down the pulp.  At about the 5 minute mark it should start getting liquidy and the seeds easily separate from the pulp.  At this stage turn off the heat and take out a sieve and place it over the bowl with the skins.  Using a wooden knife mash the pulp until it's fully separated from the seeds and in the bowl with the skins. 
    Discard the seeds and place the mixture of the skins, pulp, lemon juice and rind back in the sauce pan and turn the heat to medium.  Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to simmer.  Cook for a further 20 - 30 minutes until the grapes start to look jammy and the skins have broken down. 
    Take off the heat and add in the chia seeds and let cool in the pan before placing in jar. 
    For the tart shell use this recipe.
    To assemble
    Heat oven to 325 degrees and spray your tart pan with coconut oil spray.  Take ¾ of the tart dough and using your fingers line the tart pan evenly.  Then pour over all the grape jam on the top and cover with the remaining dough.  Just dot it over the top like a crumble. 
    Bake for 30 minutes and garnish with thyme and enjoy!
