This is such an unexpected recipe from you - loving it!

I had an exchange with Claire Ptak from Violet Bakery about Concord grapes. She's got a recipe in her book I have wanted to make but I looked and can't find true Concords in local markets. Everyone seems to have gone with Thomcord (Americans don't like seeds?!) which does not equate to "uva fragola". I scored the last of Concords from Murray Family Farm at Santa Monica Farmer's Market and those were perfectly shaped but a different type of Concord - lighter in color not dark and highly fragrant. Guess I need to grow my own!

You could try. I personally find the seeds to be really unpleasant or impossible to eat. I don't mind a little crunch from a small seed (and the extra fiber!) but I find these need to be spit out. Unfortunately!

This is so timely given that we have a huge bag of apples from apple picking, and a neighbor is growing Concord grapes. I'm intrigued by the peanut butter dough and look forward to trying it.

Hmmm...I live in Sonoma & SF and have not seen any Concord. Only Thomcord and they truly do not have any resemblance to Concord in flavor. But Monterey Market or Berkeley Bowl usually has everything!
