“One of my daughter’s favorites! Highly recommend. She liked it so much, she opened her mouth for more which is something she has only done for the oatmeal and strawberry purées listed on this blog.” -Holly

Serve your baby the taste of summer with this homemade peach puree! 🍑

It’s naturally sweet, full of flavor, and packed with essential nutrients for your growing little one. And making this puree is simple, we simmer the peaches (fresh or frozen work!) for a few minutes until tender, before giving them a quick whirl in the blender. In less than 15 minutes, you’ve got a smooth, silky puree ready to go.

Want to be a little extra? Add a pinch of fresh vanilla bean and a dash of nutmeg for a swoon-worthy twist that’s almost too good to share. 😉

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!

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.

Ingredients 

  • 3 fresh peaches or 1-12 ounce bag frozen peaches, do not thaw frozen peaches – use frozen
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • big pinch of vanilla bean from a fresh pod (optional)
  • pinch nutmeg (optional)

Instructions 

  • Prep: If using fresh peaches, peel and pit the peaches.
  • Cook: In a medium saucepan, add the peaches and water, cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes (fresh peaches) – 10 minutes (frozen peaches).
  • Vanilla Bean: Meanwhile, cut the vanilla bean pod in half and then slice open lengthwise. Take the back of your knife or spoon and scrape out all of the vanilla bean, reserve a big pinch.
  • Add Spices: right before the peaches are done cooking, add in the vanilla and nutmeg (or any other spices you prefer) and stir until incorporated. Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Transfer: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches to a blender or food processor, leaving all excess water in the saucepan. You do not want to add any additional liquids or the puree might be too thin.
  • Blend: starting on low and increasing to high speed, puree the peaches until smooth and creamy.
  • Eat: serve to baby or freeze for later.

Notes

Age: from 6 months and up
Yield: 12 ounces
Storage: Fridge – store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
Adding Spices: 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.
