Homemade Baby Food ~ Plum and Pineapple Purees

Two more super easy and tasty purees for your little one!!

For the plums, I pitted and diced them, after washing them off and scrubbing the skins gently. Those I pureed fresh / raw (add a little water or juice to thin if needed).

For the pineapple I diced and then steamed for about 10 minutes, and then pureed, adding a little of the cooking water to thin.

With the pineapple, I used about half of it and froze it as just a pineapple puree; the rest I froze still in chunks and added them to other mixtures to create a couple different fruit blends (it goes well with just about anything - apple, mango, banana, watermelon, peach, etc.)

Lindsey didn't particularly like either of these on their own, but they blended well with other mixtures. Pineapple Peach, Plum Peach, Pineapple Plum, etc. Be creative!

Pineapple Puree

2. Add to blender, add enough cooking liquid to thin as necessary and blend until desired consistency is reached.
