Sweetcorn purée, sieved

Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
Texture: Purée
Prep: 3 min
Cook: 4 min
Makes: 3 portions

Ingredients

Contains: None of the common allergens

Boil or steam the sweetcorn 4 minutes.
Blend with the milk for longer than seems necessary, then push through a sieve to remove the skins.
Cool to lukewarm.

Safety: Sieved — corn skins do not break down in a baby's mouth.

Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.

Tip: Sweetcorn is sweet and yellow and worth the sieving. The skins are what a baby cannot manage, and the sieve takes them out.
