Cranberry & Pear Puree

Ingredients

• 2 ripe pears, peeled and cored
• ¼ cup fresh or frozen cranberries
• 3 tbsp water

Method

1. 01

   Peel, core, and dice 2 ripe pears into small chunks.

2. 02

   Rinse ¼ cup of fresh or frozen cranberries and pick out any soft or damaged berries.

3. 03

   Place both pears and cranberries in a small saucepan with 3 tablespoons of water.

4. 04

   Cook over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, stirring often, until both fruits are completely soft. The pears will sweeten and balance the tart cranberries.

5. 05

   Transfer to a blender, blend until smooth, cool completely, and serve.

How to offer

Serve on a soft spoon. The pear provides natural sweetness that makes tart cranberry palatable for babies. A beautiful red-pink color makes this visually appealing.
