Baby Food Recipes - Peach, Apple & Strawberry


This is a delicious puree to make when peaches and strawberries are in season. A good way to thicken fruit purees is to stir in some baby rice. Choose a variety that has no added sugar. This baby food recipe also combines well with mashed banana.
 

 

 
Strawberries contain more vitamin C than other berry fruits. 100g of strawberries will give an adult almost twice the daily- recommended amount. They are also a good source of fibre and betacarotene

To skin peaches, score a cross on the base using a sharp knife, then submerge in boiling water for one minute. Drain and the skin should peel away easily.
