Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 medium ripe pear (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons optional: breast milk or formula
Instructions
Wash the blueberries thoroughly under cool running water and set them aside.
Peel, core, and dice one medium-sized pear into small pieces.
Combine the blueberries, diced pear, and 2 tablespoons of water in a small saucepan.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the blueberries have burst and the pear has softened.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before transferring it to a food processor or blender.
Puree the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For very young babies, you may want a completely smooth consistency, while older babies may enjoy a chunkier texture.
Optional: Add 2 tablespoons of breast milk or formula to the puree to make it creamier and adjust the consistency for your baby.
Allow the puree to cool completely before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
