Plum Purée — A Soft, Naturally Sweet First Recipe for 6+ Months in Summer
Steamed until tender, then peeled, pitted, and smoothly mashed, plum is a refreshing, nourishing way to gently introduce summer fruit to your baby from 6 months. No added sweeteners or extras — just the fruit's own natural sweetness.
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe fresh plums (washed)
- 2 tablespoons boiled and cooled drinking water (for consistency)
Directions
- 1
Wash the plums well; peel them, halve them to remove the pits, and chop into small pieces.
- 2
Steam the plum pieces for 8-10 minutes, until soft enough to mash easily with a fork.
- 3
Transfer the softened plums to a bowl and mash thoroughly with a fork, or blend for a smoother texture.
- 4
If needed, add the boiled, cooled water a little at a time to reach the flowing consistency your baby enjoys.
- 5
Check that it is smooth and free of any skin or fibrous bits so that spoon-feeding is easy.
- 6
Serve warm, close to body temperature. Remember to introduce each new fruit on its own, three days apart.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Plum is a refreshing summer fruit that contains vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants. Its fiber may gently contribute to digestive regularity in babies, while vitamin C is a valuable component that supports overall nutrition. When peeled, pitted, and smoothly mashed, it creates a soft, easy-to-swallow texture for babies new to spoon-feeding. Introduced on its own, it offers a gentle chance for your baby to meet a new taste and a lightly sweet-tart aroma.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko, we care about simplicity in your baby's first tastes and the naturalness of seasonal fruit; whenever possible, choose ripe, vibrant plums in season, and if they taste too tart you can balance them with a little ripe banana or apple. Choosing GOTS-certified organic cotton for the feeding bibs that touch sensitive skin is part of that same care.
