What you'll need:

Peaches (6 peaches makes enough puree to fill 1 standard ice tray)

Hand held peeler 

Food processor or blender

Small to medium pot with steamer basket or Olababy SteamBowl

Water

Instructions:

1. Begin by peeling your peaches, then cut them into smaller pieces. 
2. Fill your pot with water just below the steamer basket (or SteamBowl) and add the peaches and pot lid. 
3. Allow the water to come to a low boil and allow the peaches to steam for 15 minutes. The larger the pieces and the more firm the peaches, the more time they will require to cook. 
4. Remove once you can easily stab the peaches with a fork. 
5. Place the peaches in the blender and puree.
