Sweet potato and apple purée
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Purée
- Prep: 5 min
- Cook: 12 min
- Makes: 4 portions
Ingredients
- 1 small sweet potato
- 1 sweet eating apple
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Peel and dice both; steam 12 minutes until soft.
- Blend smooth with a little of the cooking water.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: No salt and no sugar. A baby's kidneys cannot handle added salt, and nothing here needs it.

Tip: The first pairing most babies get, and one that is hard to refuse — two sweet things, one orange, one pale.
