Fresh peach pie ingredients
- pie crust
- 5-8 fresh peaches (depending on size)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 Tbs cornstarch
- 2 Tbs light corn syrup (or Agave Nectar)
- 1/2 pkg peach jello
How to make a fresh peach pie
While this recipe is simple to prepare, the pie does need at least an hour or
two in the fridge to firm up and set. So leave yourself plenty of time for
chilling.
You can use any kind of crust for this pie. I've often used a flaky pie crust
(will need to be baked and set aside to cool before moving on with the
recipe). To keep this recipe extra easy and no-bake, a graham cracker crust is
perfect.
Skin peaches
The first step is to remove the skins from the peaches. This is easy to do.
Place peaches in a
collander
in the sink. Boil 2-3 cups of water and pour boiling water over peaches. Have
a bowl of ice water ready to immediately dunk the hot peaches into to cool
them back down. The peach skins will just slide off.
Slice peaches
Use a
paring knife
to slice peaches into about 1/4" wedges and arrange them in pie crust. I like
to lay the peaches the same direction, it makes for a more pleasing
presentation but you can even cut the peaches into chunks!
Fill up the pie crust so it's nice and full.
Make the glaze
Mix together the sugar, water, salt, cornstarch and light corn syrup (or
Agave Nectar) in a small saucepan and mix well with a wire whisk.
Bring to a boil and cook until it thickens. Remove from heat and add 1/4 - 1/2
pkg peach jello
(this enhances the peach flavor as well as gives a nice peachy color to the
otherwise clear glaze). Start with the smaller amount, do a taste test and add more if you feel it's
needed.
Let the glaze cool for about 10 minutes and then pour the glaze over the peaches in the crust. Make sure to get in all the little nooks and crannies between the peaches.
Refrigerate until firm (2-3 hours). Serve with vanilla ice cream or freshly
whipped cream.
