Hi!
I'm really loving making Simon's pureed food. Perhaps you'll love it to and do the same in a few months! ;)
Here's how it's done:
Vegetables can be steamed or boiled until tender and cooking water can be used to puree except for carrots (until babies are about 9 months due to nitrates).
Fruits should be boiled in a bit of water. For example: 9-11 pears with 175 ml (3/4 cup) of water. Use the cooking water for desired consistency.
Canned fruits don't need to be boiled but buy those in water or juice; not syrup. Rinse well and simply puree.
I did a fresh pineapple this week without cooking. Same goes for cantelope (spelling??). Use only a bit f water since once it's pureed these fruits are quite watery.
I also prepare meat... You cut meat into 1 inch cubes and place carrots, celeri and onion in about 2 cups water and cook, covered, for about 2 hours at 325 deg. F. Remove vegetables and puree with broth.
All this is yummy for LO. Fruits are super for adults, veggies great for soups, but I wouldn't risk the meat myself! ;)
Good luck!
