¼ cup | Water, cold |

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.
