• Freeze any puree that won't be used right away.

Helpful tips:

Blanching the plums in boiling water before peeling makes them easier to work with.

If this puree is being made for a baby just starting on solid foods, the plums can be softened by simmering them in a few tablespoons of water over medium-high heat until tender (about 4 minutes).
