Fresh Nectarine (or fruit) Pie

Fresh Nectarine Pie

Nectarine is my favorite, but I have made this pie with fresh raspberries, fresh blackberries or fresh peaches.

Filling Sauce:
In blender blend:
1 cup fresh berries or fruit
1 cup water
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
Juice from ½ lemon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
Orange food coloring if using nectarines or peaches

In large saucepan cook the above until very thick
Remove immediately from stove
Stir in 2 teaspoons butter

Let filling sauce cool

Slice into a bowl ripe sweet nectarines (do not sweeten) (it usually takes about 10 to make a pie)
Or
About 5 cups fresh berries or peeled sliced peaches


When filling sauce is cool, gently fold in fresh fruit into sauce

Put fruit filling into a baked pie shell (I have even used prepared graham cracker crust- but I don’t like it as well)

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours

Serve chilled with freshly whipped cream

Yum!
