Ingredients

  • 1 cup peach slices
  • 2 tablespoons-1/4 cup water, as needed

Instructions

  • Place the peaches into a blender.
  • Blend until smooth, adding a little water, formula, or breastmilk to thin.
  • Pour puree through a small strainer set over a bowl to strain out any pieces of skin if desired. (I usually skip this step, but you can do it if you want it 100% super smooth.)
  • Serve immediately or store.

Notes

  • To make this with fresh peaches, choose very soft ripe peaches.
  • To make this with frozen peaches, thaw peach slices before starting.
  • You can store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • To freeze, place spoonfuls into an ice cube tray. Freeze for 4-6 hour or overnight. Transfer to a freezer storage bag, date and label, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Serve as is to babies or stir into plain whole milk yogurt or oatmeal.
  • A typical serving for a 6-7 month old may be 1/2-1 frozen bean cube. An older baby may eat 1-2 cubes.
  • You can make the small batch as directed here, or double or triple it to make enough to share with the family.
  • Use for older kiddos (or adults) to add flavor to oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese, pancakes, or vanilla ice cream.
