Grape Tart

       

Every year I am happy to get pione, which is a kind of grape, and so excited to have it.
Pione doesn't have seed inside, very sweet, juicy and looks very pretty, gorgeous and beautiful.
Okayama prefecture is famous area for pione, so we can pick grapes in vineyard.
Relatives who live in Okayama send to my family this piones and peaches every year. I am definitely lucky.

The best way to eat is just wash pione and dig it!
Last night I ate it this way but today I got an idea. Yes, making pione tart.

Tart is the best of my favorites.
