Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather your ingredients, a pot for steaming or boiling, a blender, and a storage container.
Making Purees
  1. Wash, peel, and chop your produce into small chunks for even cooking.
  2. Steam or boil the ingredients until they’re tender, about 15-20 minutes for sweet potatoes.
  3. Place the cooked ingredients into a blender. Add a little water or breast milk to achieve a creamy texture and blend until smooth.
Assembly and Storage
  1. Spoon the purees into ice cube trays or baby food storage containers for freezing.
  2. Cover and freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or warm gently before serving.

Notes

Ensure to choose ripe, fresh, and seasonal fruits and vegetables for the best flavor and nutrients. Label containers with the date and contents for easy identification.
