Peach & Apricot Sunny Summer Pudding
Vegetarian · 8m+ · en
Celebrate summer with this soft, comforting fruit pudding that can be served warm or chilled! Fresh peaches and apricots are simmered with a hint of cinnamon until perfectly mashable, creating a soothing, nutrient-dense mini-meal.
- In Spain, look for sweet, seasonal 'paraguayos' (flat peaches) for an incredibly flavorful twist.
- If the fruit is slightly tart, simmering brings out the natural sweetness without needing any added sugar.
- Mix leftovers into your baby's morning oatmeal or multigrain cereal.

Steps
Wash, peel, and remove the pits from the peaches and apricots. Chop the fruit into small chunks.
Place the chopped fruit in a small saucepan along with the water (or milk) and a pinch of cinnamon.
Simmer gently over low-medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is extremely soft.
Remove from the heat. Use a fork to mash the fruit into a chunky pudding for toddlers, or use an immersion blender to purée it completely smooth for younger babies.
Let the mixture cool to a safe, finger-friendly temperature. Serve warm or chilled, optionally swirling in a spoonful of yogurt just before eating.
Frequently asked questions
Can I freeze this pudding?
Yes! You can pour the cooled purée into silicone molds or ice cube trays and freeze for up to 2 months. Older toddlers will love it as a soothing frozen popsicle.
Is this safe for a 6-month-old baby?
Yes, as long as it is puréed completely smooth to avoid chunks. Skip the cow's milk yogurt and use breast milk or formula instead.
