Pear, peach and banana puree

A little bit tropical, this combo is a triple hit of fibre, potassium and vitamin C. A frozen cube stuffed into a fruit net will also help alleviate teething pain.

Ingredients

  • 1 peach

  • 1 ripe pear

  • 1 banana

Equipment

  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 blender

Instructions

  1. Score an “X” into the side of the peach and lie, X-side down, in a small saucepan of water (the water should come no more than halfway up the peach).
  2. Bring the water to a boil and simmer the peaches for around five minutes, until soft.
  3. Remove from water and, once cool enough, peel away the skin, cut, and discard stone.
  4. Peel and deseed the pear and cut into small pieces.
  5. Place the peaches, pear and banana into a blender and puree until smooth.

Notes

Tip
This puree can be frozen for up to six weeks.
Tip
Banana will start to darken when it is left exposed to the air so peel your banana just before you are going to use it. Dark banana still tastes the same but it doesn't look so appetising!
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours or freeze for longer storage.
