Quince Purée — A Naturally Sweet, Silky First Autumn Fruit for 6+ Months
Quince, autumn's fragrant fruit, turns soft and naturally sweet once it is fully cooked. This single-ingredient purée gives your baby a gentle first taste of fruit from 6 months — pure, smooth and easy to take from a spoon.
Ingredients
- 1/2 piece Ripe quince (peeled, cored, finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup Drinking water (to cook and adjust the texture)
- 1-2 tablespoon Breast milk or formula (optional, to thin the purée)
Directions
- 1
Wash the quince well, peel it and remove the core; chop it into small pieces. (Quince is hard when raw, so it must always be cooked thoroughly.)
- 2
Put the chopped quince in a small pot, add enough water to cover it and simmer over low heat until soft enough to mash easily with a fork (about 18-20 minutes).
- 3
Blend or thoroughly mash the cooked quince together with a little of the cooking water until you have a smooth, silky texture.
- 4
If the purée is too thick for your baby, thin it with a little breast milk, formula or cooled boiled water.
- 5
Check that the purée is lukewarm on the inside of your wrist and offer it to your baby warm, with a clean spoon.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With its fibre that softens on cooking and its gentle natural sweetness, quince can be a kind option on your baby's weaning journey. Offering it as a single-ingredient purée helps your little one explore a new taste calmly and makes it easier to watch for any reactions. Its vitamin C and high water content suit anyone looking for a light meal during the change of seasons.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we believe in introducing your baby's first tastes with the natural fruits of the season; preparing fresh quince without any additives and serving it warm helps your little one discover this fragrant fruit with ease. Introducing a new ingredient on its own and a few days apart makes it easier to observe any reactions.
