I recently became intrigued with making baby food. My daughter is 10 months old and is a very adventurous eater but has become tired of the store bought foods. I recently received an American Baby magazine and found a ton of recipes for baby, so I figured why not.
I made my first batch of Strawberry-Banana-Pineapple Soup and am very surprised at how easy it was (and how wonderful it smells). My daughter hasn't had it yet, but will at some point today so I'll post pictures of how that goes.
Here's the recipe.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 fresh or frozen strawberries (I used frozen, already sliced strawberries)
3 bananas
1/4 pineapple (I used an 8 oz can of pineapple chunks)
1 cup water
Directions:
Remove strawberry stems and then wash the berries. Slice each banana into 4-6 pieces. Cut the pineapple into berry-size chunks.
Put everything into a 4 quart pot and cook, covered, on high for about 6 minutes, stirring once. Carefully pour the mixture from the pot into a strainer with a bowl underneath to save the juice.
Pour the cooked fruit into a blender. Puree until smooth using 1/4 to 1/2 cup juice to adjust consistency.
Pour into two ice cube trays, and cool. Once frozen, place them into freezer safe bags and defrost cubes as needed.
Here's the picture of the frozen cubes.
