It is nutritious and cheap, easily available in the market in all seasons.
Note,
Pears provide a very good source of fiber and are also a good source of vitamin B2, C, E, copper, and potassium. They also contain a significant amount of pectin, which is a water soluble fiber.
For your baby to enjoy first fruit puree in 4 months, blend the puree into real fine and smooth. (can add some pear extract, so the texture will be diluted)
*(For 4-9 months (pureed), the following are unsuitable:
sugar, salt additives like MSG, condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise, sticky food like peanut butter, slippery food like peanuts and seeds, burnt food either barbequed or toasted food, all processed foods including commercial beverages like sodas and fruits drinks.)
Pear Puree!
1. There is variety of pear in the market, just get the seasonal one (I chose organic fruits/vegetable from 4 to 6 months) .
2. Wash your hands clean and start to peel off the skin then dice.
Option,
- you may keep the skin but make sure you wash away the wax completely
3. Steam the pear slices.
4. Use 100/200ml water ready to steam.
Set the temperature at 100 °C and time to 15 minute. (or 10 minute for less pear)
(water should just leak through the holes of the basket)
5. Blend it to the consistency that your baby prefers.
*Usually i keep the remaining "pear extract" for mixing with cereal.
6. Now let's pour the puree into the food tray and freeze it.
*Once frozen, remove it from the tray and keep them in zip lock bag.
Bon appetite!
Hope your baby enjoys the puree that you have prepared!
