My neighbor gave me a few peaches that are tiny. How do I cook them for baby food?
You don't need to cook them. If you want to puree them just peel them, take out the pit and put it in the blender. You may want to add a tiny bit of water if it is too thick, but I'd try it without first b/c peaches are pretty juicy and will likely result in a runnier puree. You may consider adding some banana to it to help thicken it up.
I made a lot of my own baby food. You don't have to add too much (if any) water to fruits. If you are doing veggies, just steam them until they are really soft, and puree them with a little water. So healthy, so cheap, and my baby loved it!
I used to make my son's baby food and I just steamed and/or pureed fruits and veggies and then I poured them into ice trays and froze them. This made for nice individual servings!
You don't! You just puree them and voila!! Just be careful not to feed too many; your baby might get diarrhea. I did this with lots of fresh fruits and veggies all the time; saved money and I knew exactly what my babies were eating!!
Good luck!!
