Apple and Banana Puree
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut into smaller pieces.
- 2
Peel the banana and slice it.
Cooking
- 3
Place the apples in a small saucepan, add water, and simmer over low heat for about 8-10 minutes until the apples are soft.
TIP:When warming baby fruit puree, use a bain-marie (water bath): place the container with the puree into a pot of gently simmering water. The temperature will be gentle and even, which helps preserve flavor, aroma, and vitamins.
- 4
Remove the pan from the heat, add the sliced banana, and let cool briefly.
Blending
- 5
Blend the apples and banana until smooth using a blender or hand blender.
TIP:When blending, gradually add the liquid (boiled water or infant formula) in small amounts and occasionally stop to scrape down the sides of the blender to achieve a smooth puree with no lumps.
- 6
If the puree is too thick, add a little boiled water to thin it.
Serving
- 7
Spoon the puree into clean bowls and serve warm or at room temperature.
- 8
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and use within 24 hours.
TIP:Divide the puree into small portions in ice cube trays and freeze. When reheating, thaw slowly in a water bath or in the microwave, and stir before serving.
More tips:
Pass the puree through a fine sieve to make it completely smooth.
The puree can be frozen in small portions and reheated as needed.
