Pear Puree | Cook a little food Purees
Most fruits and vegetables need to be lightly cooked
before being pureed and served to your baby. Apart from
pear, apple, pumpkin and other squashes, spinach, French
beans, sweet potato, carrots, sweet corn, broccoli,
leek, plums, nectarines etc can be prepared in the same
way as below. Make it a point to feed baby vegetables
and fruits, combine them to make them more palatable
if your baby won't have it any other way. Babies may
show resistance at first to unfamiliar tastes so to
make life a little easier, you can perhaps combine the
sweeter fruit/vegetable with the unpopular one to suit
your baby's palate. An example: mix pumpkin with beans.
Experiment along the way and don't give up!
1 small ripe pear 1. Peel and core the pear. Chop small.
Add just enough boiled cooled water to cover the pieces
and microwave for about 8 minutes or till soft.
2. Alternatively you may steam the fruit pieces till
soft.
3. Using a hand blender, add a little filtered water
or appropriate milk and blend the pieces till pulpy.
Serve immediately.
4. Add rice or any other suitable cereal to quantify
or vary the meal. Add yogurt if you like. You can do
this with any other fruit puree.
