Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.  Wash the grapes.  Use 2 medium-sized enamel or stainless sauce pans; squeeze pulp into one and use other for hulls.  Cover hulls with water and cook until tender, drain. [10 minutes about] Cook pulp until soft enough to run through sieve to remove seeds.  Add to hulls.  Mix sugar[*you can use less without hurting the taste!] and cornstarch.  Add to scuppernong mixture and stir it up good.  Sprinkle with spice as desired.  Pour into pastry-lined pie pan, and dot with butter, cover with strips of pastry.  Bake until pie bubbles and pastry is golden.  Serves 6-8.  8" pie.
