Strawberry and Plum Puree

9+ months

Yield: 2 cups (500 g), or 5 baby servings

2-in-1 Option: Best Buttermilk Biscuits and Summer Jam

Strawberries and plums are a dream combination for a baby and for a cook. This sweet dynamo lends itself to lots of potential dishes, but babies absolutely love this nature’s candy. Strawberries are considered a citrus that is also a higher allergen, so waiting until your baby is a little older is better as their digestive tracts get more mature and able to handle more foods. Strawberries and plums are both high in vitamin C, and plums are also high in potassium.

Ingredients:

—3 plums, peeled and cubed

—2 cups (350 g) chopped strawberries

Directions:

1. Steam plums and strawberries together for 5 to 7 minutes, until they are soft. Reserve the water from the steamer.

2. Blend the plum-strawberry mixture in a blender until pureed. Add 1 teaspoon of reserved water at a time, if necessary, until desired consistency is achieved.
