Peach Puree is not only a fantastic first food for babies, but it can also be used in desserts, baking or swirled into yoghurt. Once the kids have gone to bed, you can even use the leftovers to make yourself a delicious Bellini cocktail!

What is Peach Puree?

Peach puree is simply peaches, with their skin removed, pureed until smooth.

How To Make Peach Puree

Peel: Place peaches in a pan of boiled water and allow to sit for 40-60 seconds. This allows the water to loosen the skin. Using a slotted spoon, remove the peaches and place them in a bowl of ice water. Remove peaches from the water and peel the skin off using your fingers or, if needed, a pairing knife.
Slice: Start at the stem and cut the peach in half, working your way around the pit. If your peaches are freestone you should be able to gently twist each side of the peach in opposite directions to allow the fruit to pull apart into two halves. If using clingstone peaches then you will need to make slices all around the outside of the peach and then cut each slice away from the pit.
Blitz: Place the peach slices into a food processor/blender and blitz until smooth.

What Peaches Are Best To Use?

When purchasing fresh peaches, look for the fruit that is firm but has some ‘give’ when you gently squeeze them. Avoid those that are extra hard or have green skin. They should also be free of nicks, bruises, and other blemishes.

You can use white flesh or yellow flesh peaches. The white flesh variety is usually sweeter than those with yellow flesh, which can sometimes be a little tart in flavour.

Can You Use Frozen or Canned Peaches?

There are several reasons you may wish to use frozen/canned peaches.

Available all year round: The season for ripe and juicy peaches is definitely too short! For that reason, you may require to use frozen or canned peaches.
Convenience: The great benefit of using frozen/canned is that they are already peeled, sliced and pitted. They store well and you don’t have to worry about them spoiling.
Price: Buying frozen/canned is often cheaper than buying fresh.

I would recommend using frozen over canned for the following reasons.

Canned foods can sit around on shelves for a long time, during that time nutrients from the peaches can leach into the juices they are packed in. These juices are thrown away and not required for making the puree.
Canned peaches are often packed in sugar syrups. Always check ingredients carefully.
Canned peaches are very soft and can often result in a runnier puree.
There may be a lot of waste with canned peaches. With frozen you can take out only what is required.

If making for a baby just be sure to check labels carefully.

What Can You Use Peach Puree For?

As a baby puree
Mix into yoghurt
Added to smoothies or milk
Stir into oatmeal/porridge
Use in baking (muffins, bread, cakes etc)
Top pancakes/waffles
Use in cocktails, e.g Bellinis (adults only obviously!)/ Mocktails

Freeze the puree in ice-cube trays and once fully frozen, quickly pop them all out and place into a freezer bag or container. Return to the freezer and store for up to 3 months. (Freezing it this way allows you to take out small portions as needed.)

Ingredients

Peaches: Peaches are the stars of the show! You can use either fresh or frozen peaches in this recipe. Since frozen peaches are easily available year-round, I tend to use those for this recipe.
Vanilla Beans and Nutmeg: If you want to get all fancy, you can use fresh vanilla beans in this recipe. But you can also add in a pinch of cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg for a tastier puree. I added a pinch of fresh vanilla bean and nutmeg into this puree because I was feeling it. I always like to add spices to my baby food purees, but you can omit them if you prefer.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Cook: Place the peaches into a medium saucepan along with a little water, and cook for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer: Let it cool slightly. Then, using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches to a blender or food processor.
Vanilla Bean: Using the back of a knife or spoon, scrape out all vanilla beans from the vanilla pod. Add them to the peaches.
Blend: Turn on the blender and puree until smooth.
Eat: Serve or freeze for another meal.

WHEN CAN BABY EAT PEACHES?

Babies can have peaches as one of their first foods. When a baby can start on solids is determined by their own rate of development, which generally comes between 4-6 months of age. Some of the developmental milestones babies need to reach in order to start solids include: if your baby has solid control of their head and neck, if your baby has doubled in weight, and if your baby is reaching for or opening their mouth when you eat (see my guide here). Before you start your baby on purees, you should consult with your pediatrician to make sure your child is developmentally ready.

HOW TO STORE PEACH PUREE

REFRIGERATOR

You can store the puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

FREEZER

This puree can be frozen for up to 4 months.

Spoon puree into a freezer storage container (this is my favorite freezer storage container). Do not overfill.
Place the lid on the storage container or cover with a piece of saran wrap, and label with the date and recipe name.
Place the tray into the freezer and let it freeze completely — preferably overnight.
Pop-out the baby food cubes and place them in a ziplock baggie or stasher bag. Don’t forget to relabel the baggie or stager bag for future reference.

Label Tip: Don’t forget to label your purees before you place them in the fridge or freezer with the name of the puree and the date you made it. Take it from me; by the end of the week, you will completely forget what is in your freezer and how long it’s been there… because you know… mommy brain. 😉

GREAT PEACH STAGE 2 PUREES

While Peach Baby Food is absolutely amazing and heavenly by itself, it’s also super easy to mix and match with other nutrient-dense baby food purees. For a Stage Two puree, give these fun flavor combos a try!

Apples
Carrots
Sweet Potato
Quinoa Baby Cereal
Chicken
Pear
Yogurt
Mango
Broccoli

Be a Foodie Role Model for Baby: This puree is great to eat alongside your baby right from the start. This peach puree is best served with yogurt for a yummy breakfast or snack for both you (I like to add some chopped nuts and granola to mine) and your baby.

Tips

Use a Slotted Spoon: When transferring peaches from the saucepan to the blender, make sure to use a slotted spoon so you don’t add too much water to the puree.
Organic: Peaches are on the EWG Dirty Dozen list, so I recommend using organic peaches if possible. The good news is that organic frozen peaches are generally less than a dollar more per recipe, making this option a little more budget-friendly.

Peach puree is rich in beta-carotene and potassium, and its mild, sweet taste makes it ideal for baby food. Peach is introduced into the baby's diet at about 8-10 months, like any new product with a waiting period of 4-7 days.

Peach is great for feeding babies, as its natural sweetness will not leave you indifferent, and the softness of the fruit allows you to quickly introduce it as a finger food. Moreover, peach puree is so unique, as it can be mixed not only with other fruits, but also with meat. Moreover, peach can be preserved (the taste of peach puree does not change), frozen, both in the form of puree and in pieces. nine0003
