Peach Baby Food

In all the peachy goodness around here it was actually kind of fun last night to cut up cherries to dry!

But we love peaches...all of us...especially Baby.

So I am making lots of peach baby food and decided to figure out how much this is costing me!

I bought about 12 dozen peaches on sale for $0.47 per pound. The only thing that stopped me from buying more was the selection....

Each bag of a dozen cost on average $2.00, so 6 peaches cost $1.

Today I pealed and pitted 6 peaches and ran them through the food processor and got 18 ice cubes of peaches, and 2 cubes is about the same as one jar of baby food in the stores.

We made the equivalent of 9 jars of peach baby food for $1, or $0.11 a jar.

Needless to say I am making lots of baby food with these peaches! This is pretty much the rock bottom price on peaches for the year, but even buying fruit and veggies at the "regular price" still results in substantial savings over buying the jars.
