Banana Pear Peach Puree

March 10, 2008

One of my favorite things about baby food is that it's just pure, wholesome and delicious. When these fruits are at their ripest, it's so heavenly tasting, you don't need to add anything.
Whenever I look at baby food jars in the grocery with artificial colors, preservatives and additives I think "do you really want your baby eating that crap". I wouldn't want it in my body, so why would I knowingly feed it to Kenya?
There's nothing sweeter then a fresh banana, pear or peach. Even at this time of year, when peaches are out of season, I defrost frozen organic fruit and in an instant I can make this puree. This is the best dessert or breakfast food a baby would want.

    Today i went to the farmers market and bought gorgeous produce. I cooked up all the vegetables and pureed them, but for the peaches, i blanched them, peeled them, pureed them and froze them. I am reading in different places that peaches have to be cooked before serving to baby. Is this necessary?

      I would. Sometimes a raw peach, if fed to a baby, can mess up their tummies and cause loose stools. The cooking process also helps to stop the enzymatic process that causes peaches to go bad if you at least blanch them in hot water for about 20-30 seconds first before freezing. Cooking them intensifies the sugar flavor in peaches, and my children liked that better. You, will, however lose a lot of the water soluble vitamins like Vitamin C into the cooking liquid, so keep that in mind and reduce the liquid to as little as you can get away with. Then freeze them in their own liquid.
