Ok, I can’t help it, I’m obsessed with making baby food.  Did you think that this vegetable garden loving Mama wouldn’t be making my own?  I love to puree fruits and vegetables in the kitchen!

If you love cooking, then you understand the amazing feeling one gets when you serve friends or family a home cooked meal.  When placing the food on the table in front of your family, you are essentially saying “I love you!”.   So imagine my excitement when I’m cooking for my baby!

By making your own food you know it’s fresh, hasn’t been sitting on the shelves for months, and you know all the ingredients that are going into the food.  Also you’re going to feel AMAZING when you put a spoonful of Mama’s home cooking in your baby’s mouth and they smack their lips together saying “MMMMM!”.  Yes, that’s the ultimate feel good moment!

This fruit puree calls for fresh apples, pears and bananas.  For apples I recommend using a sweet apple that has lots of flavor, personally I love using honeycrisp apples for this recipe.  For pears go with a sweet bartlett or a bosc.   The taste of banana goes far in puree, so you only need 2 bananas for this recipe. 

I’m going to talk quick about organic vs non organic.   If you can buy all organic I say do it, but the truth is that organic fruits cost significantly more money than non organic.  When you’re buying 4 pounds of apples, .99 (non organic) vs 3.99 (organic) a pound adds up quickly. 

When making baby puree, organic is good, but what’s best is home cooking, so don’t stress if you can’t budget it in organic fruits.  Instead, look for what’s on sale and in season.  If red delicious apples are on sale one week, then stock up with a few pounds worth. If Fuji apples are on sale, then buy those!  In NYC, small neighborhood produce stores often have the best savings on fruits and vegetables so take a look there too.

Ingredients

  • 8 apples (sweet variety, like honeycrisp) peeled, core removed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 6 pears peeled, core removed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 ripe bananas
