A Nectarine is a Drupe, and so has a big seed in the middle, and are formed by fertilization of a single flower with a single pistol. Like peeps have said, it's very similar to a Peach, without the fuzz.

Cherries are also Drupes.

Like all fruits, Blueberries do have seeds, but they're not hard (so not "pits"). Blueberries are classified as Aggregate Fruits - like grapes - and have soft, edible seeds. Aggregate fruits are formed from fertilization of a single flower with multiple pistols.
