Baby food: Pear puree

Pears
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

Pear puree is best for 6-8 months+ babies. It contains vitamins A, C and as well as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium - great for making strong baby bones.  

1. Peel and cut a pear into chunks so as to avoid the little seed portion.
2. Steam gently until tender.
3. Place in a blender/food processor and puree until smooth. You may be able to just use a fork instead.
4. Add extra hot water if needed but pears tend to be very runny and watery without adding liquid - add some baby cereal to thicken if needed.
