      Easy peasy purees and finger foods

      Easy peasy purees

      There are many purees that don’t need any cooking at all. All of these fruit and vegetable purees can be prepared in minutes.

      Peach

      Sweet ripe peaches are delicious and easy to digest. Stir in some baby rice if the puree is too runny.

      1 large ripe peach

      A little baby rice (optional)

      • Score a cross with a sharp knife on the base of the peach. Place it in a small bowl and pour boiling water over it.

      • Drain, then rinse with cold water; the skin should then peel away easily. Cut the flesh away from the pit and mash or puree.

      • You may want to stir in a little baby rice as it will probably be very runny.

      Peach and banana

      1 small ripe peach

      ¹/2 small ripe banana

      • Remove the skin from the peach (as above) and cut the flesh away from the pit. Mash the peach with the banana using a fork, or you could use a hand blender.

      • Serve on its own or mixed with a little baby rice.

      Mango

      Known as the King of Fruit, mangoes are rich in antioxidants—rich health boosters.

      ¹/2 medium ripe mango

      • Remove the skin from the mango and cut the flesh into cubes.

      • Mash or puree using a hand blender until smooth.

      Mango and strawberry

      ¹/2 small ripe mango

      2 strawberries

      • Prepare the mango as in the mango puree.

      • Blend the mango flesh with the strawberries.

      Mango and banana

      ¹/2 small ripe mango

      ¹/2 small ripe banana

      • Prepare the mango as for the mango puree.

      • Slice the banana.

      • Mash the banana and mango, or puree using a hand blender.

      Apple, strawberry, and banana

      Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and have a natural sweetness, which makes this delicious.

      SUITABLE FOR FREEZING

      SUITABLE FROM 6 MONTHS

      MAKES 3 PORTIONS

      2 apples, peeled and diced (about 1¹/4 cups)

      5 medium strawberries, quartered

      ¹/2 small banana

      • Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat for about 8 minutes, or until the apples are tender, then puree with a hand blender.

      Pear, apple, and blueberry

      Blueberries contain more antioxidants than any other fruits.

      SUITABLE FOR FREEZING

      SUITABLE FROM 6 MONTHS

      MAKES 3 PORTIONS

      2 ripe pears, peeled

      2 apples, peeled

      2 to 3 tablespoons water

      ³/4 cup blueberries

      • Remove the cores from the pears and apples. Coarsely chop them and place in a saucepan with the water and blueberries.

      • Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft. Whiz until smooth, using a hand blender.
