Pear Puree for Baby Food

1. 1 Pears≈ $3.80 per kg 150 g

Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

1. Wash the pear¹, peel it, remove the core, and cut into 1 cm cubes.

2. Transfer to a pot, add 2 tablespoons of water, and simmer covered on low heat for 10–12 minutes until the pieces mash easily with a spoon.

3. Blend until completely smooth, adding 1–2 teaspoons of water, breast milk, or formula if needed to thin.

4. Cool until warm and check temperature by dabbing a drop on your inner wrist—it should feel neither hot nor scalding.

5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours or freeze in portion-sized molds.

In short

• A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 6 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
