Fresh Peach Pie


We have family visiting from the Okanagan this weekend, so we are also enjoying the ‘fruit of their vines’. They brought us peaches that are incredibly juicy and delicious! Here's a family favorite fresh fruit pie, which we shared with our guests last night.

Fresh Peach Pie
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons peach jello
  • 5-6 cups fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1 baked piecrust (9 or 10 inch)
  1. Mix water, sugar and cornstarch in saucepan and boil until thickened. (Or use microwave oven.)
  2. Remove from heat and add the peach jello powder.
  3. Cool until lukewarm. 
  4. Stir in peach slices and pour into prepared crust.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
Good food is all the sweeter when shared with good friends.

  6. Yummy! This looks good! I don't know where I've been, but last night we ordered a piece of pie at a restaurant and it cost over $7!! My first thought was, are they going to bring us a whole pie? What are we doing? Paying for the Chef's Culinary School loan debts?
    Oh, but sometimes it's fun to be served, right? And then we can go back to making our own with joy!

  8. I think I missed out on my peach pie this year, but the blackberries are just starting to ripen in my back field.

  9. Love this pie! I've never made a fresh peach pie before but found this website and decided to give it a try. Can the peaches along with the glaze be frozen in vacuum-packed bags and used sometime this fall or winter? Have some more peaches and this is the recipe i want to use them for (before they all get too ripe!). Thanks! Robin
