Mango Puree

Ingredients

• 1 ripe mango
• 1–2 tsp water (optional)

Method

1. 01

   Choose a ripe mango — it should give slightly when pressed and smell sweet at the stem end.

2. 02

   Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the pit into chunks.

3. 03

   Place the mango chunks in a blender or food processor.

4. 04

   Blend until completely smooth, adding 1–2 teaspoons of water if needed to help blending.

5. 05

   For younger babies, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits before serving.

How to offer

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Pairs wonderfully with banana or avocado puree.
