Carrot and apple purée

Carrot and apple purée

Ingredients

  • 1 carrot
  • 1 sweet eating apple

Contains: None of the common allergens

Method

  1. Peel and slice the carrot; peel, core and chop the apple. Steam the carrot 8 minutes, then add the apple for 6 more.
  2. Blend smooth.
  3. 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: Apple takes the earthiness off carrot for a baby who pushed it away plain.
