Baby Puree recipes.

First homemade baby purées

Basic Vegetable Purée:

Carrot and sweet potato homemade purée recipe

2 Large Carrots
1 Sweet Potato
small amount of unsalted butter (optional)

Peel and chop into small pieces. Boil or steam the carrots, and sweet potato until soft.

Blend down, adding a little unsalted butter if required. Place a little of the water used to boil the carrots / potatoes until you reach desired texture and consistency.

As you progress with weaning you can make the recipe up but making the texture more mashed as opposed to puréed

TIPS:
Try adding different vegetables to create a new purée such as broccoli, parsnip, peas or pumpkin!

For fussy eaters, if you stick to a common taste that your baby like such as carrot, this provides a firm basis for adding in new flavours, so they still recognise the underlying taste.

Pear or apple homemade purée recipe:

Use 1 – 2 apples or pears.

Steam or cook these in hot water until soft.

Mash down to create a fruit purée

Do not add sugar to taste.
