Strawberry Puree

Strawberry Puree is my daughters new favorite puree to add to oatmeal cereal in the morning, or for dessert after her dinner. You can use any amount of strawberries you like, this is a very loose and simple recipe. Strawberry seeds are difficult for babies under a year of age to digest because the intestinal tract is not fully developed. So to start this recipe you must first peel away the outer layer of skin containing the seeds and the green leafy stems. Strawberries are a natural allergenic food, so to avoid exposure to the element in strawberries that can trigger the allergy you have to cook them. In a small pot on med-high, cook peeled strawberries and enough liquid (i like to use juice) to almost cover them. Cook for about 10 min or until steaming and soft. Then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before blending in whatever you use to make baby food (Baby Bullet, blender, food processor, etc.) They will keep in the refrigerator for 4-7 days in an airtight container or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
