Elisabetta’s Crostate di Uva di Montepulciano

Scrucchiata (or sclucchiata) is a traditional, artisanal grape jam from the Abruzzo region of Italy. It is renowned for being made without added sugar, relying solely on the natural sweetness of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grapes. The name comes from the Italian verb "scrucchiare" (to crush), referring to the traditional, meticulous process of separating the grape skins from the pulp and seeds by hand. It's tough work! So all it does it make everything taste so much even sweeter. You can use is as a filling for any traditional Abruzzesi desserts. Elisabetta used it instead for this crostata.
