Fresh nectarines and canned peaches, Why not??
Look at the result! YUM
Playing around with my original recipe that uses all fresh fruit today I was short on nectarines and I had one (1) 15 oz. can of lite peaches so I decided to mix the two and make my usual glaze to make this pie.
Approx. 2 cups sliced nectarines and peaches (Total )
For the crust I used:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 T sugar
1/3 cup butter softened
Using a pastry blender or fork mix graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar until blended. Place graham cracker mix in a 8 or 9 inch pie dish and press until pie shell is formed.
Bake 350 degrees approx. 8 minutes. Cool
For the glaze:
**1/2 cup approx. juice from can of lite peaches
add to it enough water to equal 1 cup
3 T cornstarch
**Note: if you like sweeter add 1/4 cup sugar to above or use peaches in syrup.
Whisk liquid and cornstarch until smooth. Add one cup nectarine/peaches and microwave for approx. 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir. Add other cup of nectarine/peaches and microwave in 1 to 2 minute increments until thickened. Cool completely and pour into prepared shell. Top with fresh whipped cream.
