Ingredients
- 3 large bartlett pears
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- water, breast milk or baby formula as needed
Instructions
- Put about 2 inches of water in a small pot and bring it to a soft boil. Add the steamer basket to the pot.
- Wash the pears and cut them into quarters. (Peeling the pears is optional.)
- Add the pears to the steamer basket and cover the pot. Steam the pears for 10-20 minutes, or until the pears are completely soft.
- Add the pears to a blender and blend until smooth. Add water, formula or breast milk as needed, until you reach your desired consistency.
Notes
- If you are using very ripe, soft pears you can skip to step 4.
- Cooking pearsfor baby food is not necessary, unless your pears are not soft enough. However, cooking pears helps to break them down, making them easier for young babies to digest.
- Try adding different spices such as cinnamon, clove, or allspice!
