Stone Fruit Perfection Baby Food Puree

There is nothing like the feeling of when you walk to the farmers market and you see the tables loaded down with pit fruit!

Sweet, ripe, juicy peaches and nectarines and plums, OH MY!

The varieties these days are endless on the amazing shapes, colors and flavors there have. And I find no problems in being tasked on trying to eat them all, standing in-between vendor stalls, without a napkin so the juices just drip down my face and onto my belly and shoes. I should be embarrassed about this animalistic way of eating a fruit, but I am so not.

This is what summer life is all about.

This is what this puree is all about.

Summer whipped up into a roasted goodness that no baby will ever be able to turn down. Smooth, sweet, tangy with a savory undertone of thyme.

Other yummy ways to devour this puree:

  • Take a cracker, smoother with cream cheese and add a dollop of this puree on top for both a toddler and adult pleasing appetizer. 
  • Add a couple spoonfuls of white fish and kale puree for a well balanced baby puree meal.
  • Spoon into some full fat greek yogurt and sprinkle homemade granola on top.
  • If you are smart and have a ice cream maker, simply swirl this puree into a  batch of vanilla bean ice cream, freeze and top with a sea salt carmel. I dear you.

Ingredients 

  • 2 peaches, cut in half and pitted
  • 2 nectarines, cut in half and pitted
  • 2-3 plums, cut in half and pitted
  • 2-3 apricots, cut in half and pitted
  • 1/4 tsp fresh thyme, roughly chopped

Instructions 

  • Heat oven to 350F degree F.
  • Place all fruit cut side down into a baking dish. Fruit can slightly overlap with each other.
  • Pour water 1/2" deep into baking dish. Place baking dish into oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a fork can easily prick the fruit. Let cook for 15 minutes or until you can hangle the fruit.
  • Peel off all of the skin on the fruit. Place the chunks of fruit into a blender or food processor. If some of the skin makes it into the blender, this will be easily pureed when you blend it up.
  • Add in thyme and puree for 1-2 minutes or until you have reached your desired consistency, add water in tablespoon increments if needed.
