A single-ingredient, naturally sweet purée made from steamed pear. A gentle first taste for babies 6 months and older, soft and needing nothing extra added.
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 150 g) Ripe pear (peeled, cored, diced)
- 2-3 tablespoons Drinking water (for steaming and consistency)
Directions
- 1
Wash your hands, the bowl and spoon you will use, and the pear well; peel the pear and remove the core.
- 2
Dice the pear into small cubes so it cooks evenly.
- 3
Steam in a basket, or cook with very little water over low heat for 8-10 minutes, until it mashes easily with a fork.
- 4
Drain the cooked pear and let it cool for a few minutes.
- 5
Mash with a fork or blender until smooth; if needed, thin it with a little of the cooking water, added gradually.
- 6
Before serving, test a drop on your wrist to make sure it is lukewarm.
- 7
Store any leftover purée in a sealed container in the fridge and use within 24 hours; do not reheat and cool more than once.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Steamed pear, with its velvety texture and natural sweetness, can be a gentle first fruit on your baby's complementary feeding journey. Known for its fibre content, pear offered as a single ingredient helps your baby recognise the new taste clearly. Its soft consistency is an easy-to-digest choice suited to the first days of getting to know the spoon.
Maiyko's note
Always offer pear in a smooth consistency suited to your baby's age, and for the first few days give it on its own to calmly observe for any sensitivity. Feed your baby upright and under supervision.
