Plum and apple purée
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Purée
- Prep: 6 min
- Cook: 8 min
- Makes: 4 portions
Ingredients
- 3 ripe plums
- 1 sweet eating apple
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Halve and stone the plums; peel, core and chop the apple.
- Simmer together with a splash of water, covered, 8 minutes until collapsed.
- Blend smooth; push through a sieve if the plum skins have not broken down.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: No salt and no sugar. A baby's kidneys cannot handle added salt, and nothing here needs it.

Tip: Plums are gently laxative, which is useful in the first weeks of solids when things slow down.
