Ingredients
  

  • 3 large bartlett pears
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • water, breast milk or baby formula as needed

Equipment

  • Baby Bullet
  • blender
  • Food Processor
  • pot
  • Steamer Basket

Method
 

  1. Put about 2 inches of water in a small pot and bring it to a soft boil. Add the steamer basket to the pot.
  2. Wash the pears and cut them into quarters. (Peeling the pears is optional.)
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
