Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cucumber peeled and deseeded
  • 1 cup melon
  • A few fresh basil leaves

Equipment

  • Baby Bullet
  • Food Processor
  • blender

Method
 

  1. Wash and peel the cucumber, then slice it lengthwise. Drag a spoon down the middle of the cucumber to remove its seeds.  Then, slice the the cucumber.
  2. Wash, peel and deseed the melon.  Then, cut it into cubes.
  3. Add the cucumber and the melon to a food processor and puree it until smooth.

Notes

  • Keep in mind that a blender will give you a smoother puree than a food processor. 
  • If you want a really smooth puree, you will need a good, powerful blender.
  • Try adding some fresh mint to this puree to give it a different taste!
  • I used a honey dew melon in this puree. Try using different melons to vary the taste and color!
  • My baby food recipes don't yield a lot because babies don't eat much, and they should be eating a variety of different foods (making too much of one type won't give them that opportunity).  However, if you want to make this recipe in bulk to freeze for later, simply double it.
