Melanie: Peach Puree you either have to make it or you can find it as part of a bar mixer (company called Finest Call is one company that makes bottled fruit purees used in mixed drinks. Easy recipe I got online is 1 cup peeled & chopped fresh peaches, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of water. Put all in a blender and process for a minute or until smooth. Makes about 1 cup.
I really enjoyed this recipe and it is easy enough to make. The exception is making the peach puree (and I couldn't get white peaches. The syrup was a little strong for me with the bourbon so I might try less or not at all next time. The breakfast gang really liked the syrup though.

This was good. I could not find peach puree, so I used peach baby food. It wasn't very peachy to me, but putting the peaches in the syrup really added the peach flavor for me. The family loved it. But where can I find peach puree?
