Serving Suggestions

Note

• This will thicken a little on cooling.
• If you are making this for a toddler you can skip mashing the pears.
• You can use drained tinned pears for this recipe. There is no need to cook the pears but heating them and using a little of the natural juice is required before you add the cereal.
• You can adjust the amount of cereal to make the consistency that suits your baby.
