Ripe pear wedges
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Finger food
- Prep: 3 min
- Cook: 4 min
- Makes: 1 portion
Ingredients
- 1 very ripe pear
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Peel the pear and cut into wedges as wide as your finger.
- Steam 3–4 minutes if it is not soft enough to squash between two fingers.
- Cool and hand over.
Safety: Check a wedge squashes easily between your fingers. Always sit your baby upright and stay with them while they eat.
Storage: Serve fresh.
Tip: A ripe pear is the easiest fruit to hold and gum. If it is not quite ripe, a few minutes' steam gets it there.
