Tip into a blender and whizz until pureed.

Note

• For an even easier version, use a jar or ready-made puree pears – great if you don’t have any on hand or they’re out of season.
• Apples are also great with sweet potato.
• Simply mash together for babies who are ready for something a little chunkier.
