Notes
Tip
If you’re introducing the raspberries for the first time, press the mixture through a sieve first to remove the pips.
Tip
Raspberries are not one of the top allergenic foods, but with advice as to when best to start babies on them varying widely, it might be ideal not to make it a first food, and rather introduce them a little later at around seven months. Hold off if baby has eczema or shows signs of allergies such as redness around the mouth, itching and rashes.
Storage
Can be frozen for up to six weeks. If you’ve used frozen raspberries, do not refreeze.
