| Choose only sweet fruit that is completely ripe for your baby's fruit purees. Once he is accustomed to eating an apple or a pear fruit puree on its own, try combining the two fruits. Apple or pear fruit puree is an ideal first food for your baby, being easy to digest and unlikely to cause allergies. Choose sweet eating apples like the Pink Lady variety or Royal Gala are perfect for this fruit puree. | ||

If you freeze food in ice cube trays you can mix and match flavours to make up your own combinations. Simply defrost one frozen cube of apple and mix it with a cube of pear puree to make apple and pear. I also like mixing savoury and sweet flavours together so combinations like carrot and apple or chicken sweet potato and apple are good. All fruits for very first purées, exept for bananas, papayas, and avocados, must be cooked. A month after beginning to wean your baby, you can use raw pears, peaches, mangoes, plums, and melons, if they are ripe and juicy.

Fruit Puree Ingredients2 medium eating apples or ripe pears, peeled and cored
Fruit Puree Method:Chop your chosen fruit into small even sized pieces. Put these into a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the apple juice or water. (If the pears are ripe may not need water or juice). Cover and cook over low heat unitl the fruit is tender(about 6 mins for apples and 3 mins for pears). Or steam the fruit over water for the same amounts of time (see above). Blend the fruit to a smooth puree using an electric hand blender. Add a little aplle juice, boiled water, or water from the bottom of the steamer to the Purée. For the pear puree you can stir a little baby rice into the puree to thicken it up a little. Spoon a little puree into your baby’s bowl and serve lukewarm. Pour the remainder into an ice-cube tray and freeze.
