Butternut and pear purée
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Purée
- Prep: 5 min
- Cook: 12 min
- Makes: 4 portions
Ingredients
- 200 g butternut squash, diced
- 1 ripe pear
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Steam the squash 12 minutes; add the peeled, chopped pear for the last 4.
- Blend smooth.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: No salt and no sugar. A baby's kidneys cannot handle added salt, and nothing here needs it.
Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: Pear makes squash silkier and a little sweeter, and both freeze in cubes without complaint.
