Sweet Corn Puree

Ingredients

• 1 cup sweet corn kernels, fresh or frozen (about 150g)
• 3–4 tablespoons cooking water

Method

1. 01

   If using fresh corn, husk the cob and rinse well. If using frozen corn kernels, thaw completely.

2. 02

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 8–10 minutes until kernels are tender.

3. 03

   Drain and let cool slightly. If using a fresh cob, carefully cut the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife.

4. 04

   Transfer the corn kernels to a blender with 3–4 tablespoons of the cooking water.

5. 05

   Blend until as smooth as possible, then press through a fine mesh sieve to remove the outer hull skins for a silky, safe texture for young babies.

How to offer

Serve plain or blended with carrot or sweet potato puree for added sweetness. Always strain well for young babies.
