Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 large ripe pears (NOTE 1)
  • 1 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh) (NOTE 2)
  • 2 small ripe bananas (NOTE 3)

Instructions
 

  • Fill in a large saucepan (that has a steamer attachment) with water approximately 1/3 full. Place the saucepan without the steamer over high heat and bring the water to a rapid boil.
    Place the pears into the steamer attachment and over the saucepan, then cover. Reduce the heat to medium-low and steam the pears for 10 minutes, then add the bananas and blueberries. Cover and steam for a further 5 minutes or until the pears and bananas are very soft. Insert a skewer in the fruits, it should push through effortlessly. Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes.

  • Transfer the fruits into a food processor or blender and blitz for 20 seconds or until a puree forms. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides and blitz again. Allow the puree to cool completely at room temperature before serving.

Notes

(NOTE 1) Pears - I used overripe pears as they're sweeter. If preferred, you could peel the pears before steaming, but I left them on as their skin is very nutritious. You could substitute pears with ripe apples.
(NOTE 2) Blueberries - Fresh or frozen blueberries would work in this puree. I used frozen blueberries because they're not in season here.
(NOTE 3) Bananas - I used just ripe bananas. Bananas with some brown spots would work too but avoid overripe bananas.
Storage - Allow the puree to cool completely, then spoon them into baby food-safe containers. Cover and freeze for up to 3 months. See how I organise and store my homemade baby food
