How to offer

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Start with a small spoonful and gradually increase. The natural sweetness of apple helps mask the carrot combo flavour, making it a great way to introduce vegetables.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 2 months.
