Pear purée
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Purée
- Prep: 5 min
- Cook: 8 min
- Makes: 4 portions
Ingredients
- 2 ripe pears
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Peel, core and chop the pears.
- Steam 6–8 minutes until translucent and completely soft — a ripe pear needs very little.
- Blend smooth. It will be loose enough on its own; no liquid needed.
- 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 is the gentlest first fruit — mild, rarely refused, and easy on a new digestion. A very ripe pear can simply be mashed raw.
