Ingredients
1 ripe mango
1 apple
Granny Smith or Golden Delicious are best
Equipment
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 blender
Instructions
- Peel, core and cut the apple into chunks.
- Place in a small saucepan and fill with just enough water to cover the apples.
- Boil until tender, constantly checking the water doesn’t dry up.
- Cut the mango lengthways as close to the seed as possible.
- With your knife, cut the mango flesh-side-up into little squares, being careful not to cut all the way through the skin.
- Gently “pop” the mango squares out by pushing from the skin side up and cut the cubes off.
- Place cubes of mango and cooked apple chunks into a blender and blend until smooth.
Notes
Tip
Mangoes are tropical fruits and therefore not ideal for babies younger than six months, but eight months is ideal. Introduce it alone for four days to ensure there are no reactions before mixing with other fruits or foods. Mangoes can sometimes cause mild allergic reactions – check your baby for rash around the mouth area and the bottom after it passes through.
Storage
Can be frozen for up to four weeks.
