Is anything better than biting into a fresh nectarine (or peach) in the summertime? The sweet nectar rolling down your chin reminds you of how messy it can be.
Take that same fresh-as-can-be flavor and put it in a pie crust to make this No-Bake Fresh Nectarine Pie. I make it similar to the way I make a fresh strawberry pie.
Why a Fresh Nectarine Pie Tastes Like Summer
- Fresh, uncooked nectarines that taste a lot like peaches
- No need to peel nectarines
- The perfect amount of gooeyness and shine thanks to Karo corn syrup (not the same as high-fructose corn syrup)
- Almond extract is the secret ingredient

Ingredients and Substitutions
- CORNSTARCH: Substitute arrowroot for cornstarch. All-purpose flour is not a good substitute for this application.
- CORN SYRUP: If you are worried about using high-fructose corn syrup, see the discussion above. Glucose syrup (also known as confectioner’s glucose) or golden syrup can be used in its place.
- PEACH JELLO, POWDERED: You will need half a 4 oz box.
- ALMOND EXTRACT: Use vanilla extract if you prefer.
- NECTARINES OR PEACHES: Look for perfectly ripe fruit that smells fragrant. Since they have a similar flavor and texture, you can easily substitute one for the other. Whenever I buy peaches or nectarines, I purchase whichever smells and looks the best at the time.
- PRE-BAKED PIE CRUST: Use a store-bought crust (for a 9-inch pie pan) and follow the directions for baking. Or make pie dough yourself from one of these four recipes: Cookie Crust, Another Cookie Crust, Easy Flaky Pie Crust with Shortening and Butter, or Yogurt Flaky Pie Crust.
📌Kitchen Secrets📌 for Making a No-Bake Fresh Nectarine (or Peach) Pie
#1 Fresh fruit pies are delicious with many different crusts.
My top choices are traditional pie crusts or pat-in-the-pan crusts. A store-bought refrigerator or frozen crust is another excellent alternative.
#2 Sprinkle a tablespoon of lemon or orange juice over the sliced fruit.
Sprinkle sliced fruit with citrus juice immediately after peeling and slicing to prevent browning.
#3 Don’t expect pretty slices.
Fresh fruit doesn’t slice as cleanly as cooked fruit. Oh well! It tastes fabulous, especially if you use good-quality fruit. This is obviously a summertime recipe to be made when peaches and nectarines are in season.
#4 Serve with whipped cream.
I probably don’t need to mention this, but don’t forget it. It’s the whole “peaches and cream” thing—a tried-and-true combination.
