5 Minute Peach Puree Baby Food

At any time of the year, this Peach Puree is a great baby food that’s similar to apple puree but provides a different flavor experience. We love this not only as an early homemade baby food but also as a food that everyone in the family can enjoy stirred into yogurt or oatmeal. It’s so easy to make this peach baby food in minutes using fresh or frozen fruit. And you don’t even need to peel the fruit! You can make a small batch as directed here, or double or triple it to make enough to share with the family. So flexible!
