Out of season and making baby food

What do you do when the food you want to make for DC is out of season?  For instance, I want to make peaches, but they are not in season.  I cannot find frozen peaches and I am not sure about using canned peaches.

Re: Out of season and making baby food

  • I buy frozen. Every grocery store I've been to (kroger, walmart and publix) carries frozen peaches and blueberries.

  • The frozen fruit tends to be found over by the Cool Whip/Ice Cream if you're looking for it.

  • frozen peaches are MIA for me too.  I did buy some frozen mango though.  Peaches was my exact example to my MIL about some of the babyfood things that i would consider buying premade for exactly your reason. 

    Wholesomebabyfood says not to use canned fruit for babyfood because of the high heat used to can them saps the nutrients.

  • i use frozen organics, too. avoid the cans. waaaaay too much syrup.

  • Frozen. I've made a batch with frozen peaches a month or so ago.  I have another bag of frozen peaches in the freezer right now.

    I've tried to focus on doing the in season stuff right now as much as possible,although I havedone other things.  But so far most everything I've done has been fresh.  I won't use can stuff.

  • I have seen frozen blueberries but no peaches.  I tried three different chains of stores.
  • Honestly, we only really eat food that is in season ourselves, so I am doing the same for DD.  The only exceptions I have made are frozen organic peas and blueberries.  She may not have a huge variety of food yet, but once she is on regular food she will still be eating seasonally anyway.
  • I've been able to find something to make them in every season so far. They even had pineapple this week! I just go with the flow. Maybe there are nice mangos one week, satsumas another, blueberries another, whatever.
  • I was able to find frozen peaches at my local health food store.
