6b Fruit Recipes
From: Debra Haas <Debra.Haas@LBB.STATE.TX.US>
Apricots - when the fresh ones are too expensive or not
available, I buy the dried ones (Turkish are the best - really
moist) and put them in a pan and cover them with water.
Bring the water to a boil then turn the flame off. Let the
apricots soak in the water about 30 minutes, until they are
plump. Then put apricots and some water in the food
processor. Puree - adding water from the pan (it contains
good flavor and nutrients) until the mixture is smooth enough
for baby to eat. These are really yummy.
Pears - buy fresh pears (we like Bartletts), peal and poach
(about 2 minutes per pear in the microwave). Place the
pears (no water!) in the food processor and puree. Another
favorite!
Raspberry applesauce - not the stuff you buy from Motts - it
has starch and colors in it - yuk. Buy organic applesauce
and frozen raspberries. Defrost the raspberries and put them
in a food processor. Puree. Add applesauce and pulse in
the processor until the raspberries are mixed in. (Be sure to
use a bib when feeding this one - it stains).
Hope people enjoy these.
