Au Natural Peach Baby Food

7/7/2014

Its about time for me to start getting food lined up for wee one.  I don't know why, but for the first 3 of our 5 children I did not make my own baby food.  I think I was kind of intimidated by the process.  After baby #4, and our continued move towards more natural and frugal living I took up making my own baby food. I was shocked at just how easy, and cheap it was!  I was a fool for so long but now... I got this!

As a gift for the birth of our 4th baby my mother gave us a Baby Bullet.  I LOVE IT.  You can easily do all of your baby food in a food processor or even a blender, but I really love my Baby Bullet.  The jars are super cute, but since I couldn't buy more (kinda costly) I opted to pick up a few tiny plastic containers at the Dollar General (only $1) to freeze my baby food in.

You can either blanch (toss in hot boiling water for 30-45 seconds and then submerge in ice water) your peaches to make the skin slip off, or you can just cut the skin off.  I just cut it off of these.  You make a slice all around the diameter of the peach and then twist and pull apart. I should mention that these are freestone peaches which basically means that the pit comes out without "clinging" as in a "cling" peach.  I prefer freestones for canning and preserving because I find them much easier to work with. 
Peel and chop your peaches (I used 3 peaches) and then put them in a saucepan with approx 1/4 cup of water (more or less depending on how thick or thin you want your baby food).  Cook until just before boiling or until a fork will easily squish the fruit.

Then blend, and store.  See how easy that was!  I now have 8 all natural, no sugar added, ready to go peach babyfood nuggets to add to the freezer.  You got this!
