I need to do some cooking
My freezer is beginning to look a little bare. I’ve been trying to cook more for us, and also trying to do more stuff out and about with the Veggie Baby, so that leaves a lot less time for making baby meals. I did manage to make some blueberry and nectarine puree (well, it was quite watery so more a sauce really) yesterday, and that was absolutely delicious.
1 punnet blueberries (approx 150g)
2 nectarines (or peaches would work well), peeled, stoned and chopped
2 tblsp waterPut the fruit and water in a pan and stew over a low heat for about 15 minutes or until the nectarines are soft. Puree according to your baby’s needs.
Evie loves this mixed with a little Greek yogurt (make sure it’s the full fat variety), or even with Mascarpone. it would probably also be really nice served over ice cream for older children or adults. And it freezes well. I did try to give it to her mashed rather than pureed, but that just didn’t work because the nectarines went a bit stringy and the skins on the blueberries caused hassle as well. Oh, just a word of warning though – this can get a bit messy, but great photo opportunities.
