Fresh Peach Purée
A sweet and mildy tangy blend of farm-fresh peaches to use in cocktails, sauces, or smoothies.
Ingredients
- 2 peaches fully ripened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¾ cup filtered water Tap water is fine if you live in an area that isn't heavily chlorinated, altering the flavor.
Instructions
- Cube peeled peaches and place in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add sugar, lemon juice and stir for a minute to coat peaches evenly and allow them to release their juice.
- Add water and bring to a boil and boil until tender. Approximately 5-10 minutes, depending on the size of your cubes.
- Once tender, purée with an immersion blender and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Take the saucepan off the heat and let cool to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze using ice cube trays and store in a freezer bag for up to 6 months.
Notes
How to include your child(ren): Tune those fine motor skills by using a butter knife to cube the peeled peaches. Sharpen listening skills by reading aloud the ingredient list and allowing the little chef(s) to set up your mise en place.
