Cook the Glaze: In a glass bowl, whisk 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons cold water, and 3/4 cup corn syrup until smooth. Microwave 4–5 minutes on HIGH, stirring 2–3 times, until thickened.
Flavor the Glaze: Stir in 3 tablespoons powdered peach jello and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. Let cool slightly.
Combine with Fruit: Gently fold sliced nectarines or peaches into the glaze until coated.
Fill the Crust: Spoon the fruit mixture into the baked crust. Cover with whipped cream before serving, if desired.
Chill: Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Best enjoyed the same day.

Use ripe fruit: Choose nectarines or peaches that smell fragrant and give slightly when gently squeezed. Firm fruit won't have as much flavor.
No need to peel: Nectarine skins are tender enough to leave on. If using peaches, peel them if you prefer a smoother texture.
Choose your favorite crust: I love a cookie crumb crust with this pie, but a baked pastry crust or a good-quality store-bought crust works well, too.
Prevent browning: If you're slicing the fruit ahead of time, toss it with a little lemon or orange juice to help keep it looking fresh.
Best served the same day: The fruit stays at its freshest the day it's made, although leftovers can be refrigerated for a day or two.
Serve with whipped cream: A dollop of whipped cream is the perfect finishing touch.
