Shop bought pouches and jars of baby food can contain a surprising amount of sugar. Why not try making your own purées at home while you’re weaning your little one? This recipe from BBC Good Food is quick, nutritious and super delicious.
Carrot and swede puree
- 2 large carrots (about 200g) peeled and cut into chunks
- ¼ swede (about 200g), peeled and cut into chunks
- Baby’s milk
- Put the carrots and swede into a steamer over simmering water and cook for about 20 minutes until tender.
- Blitz to a puree in a food processor with a splash of milk (or water from the saucepan) to create a smooth texture. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl a few times while blitzing to get a smooth consistency throughout.
- Serve one portion and divide the rest between small containers or ice cube trays and freeze.
