Yesterdays shopping yielded some unexpected gifts. Two of those were local pears and apples. These are household favorites.
So todays adventure started out as just apples and pears but I got a wild idea after reading that babies exposed to a wide variety of spices and herbs early on have a wider palate variety, I decided to start with cinnamon.
We are still working on how much water to use to steam. So we started with it at the 1 level.
Ingredients:
1 smallish diced apple
1 smallish diced pear
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
I leave the skin on when I dice the fruit. This means that you have to make sure that the fruit is REALLY well blended. After steaming, I blended the mixture in short bursts of about 30 seconds approximately 10 times - stopping to scrape the sides in between. Once it was smooth, I added the cinnamon and again blended it a couple of times.
It yielded a mixture so good that I may make it in a large batch for the rest of the family. Sean's reaction was and I quote "YUM". Good luck and happy baby food making.
