Tropical Delight

Gerber has a flavor called Hawaiian Delight. I bought it, tasted it, and tried to create something similar for AlyJo and she loved it! I start with
1/4 c fresh pineapple
1/4 c strawberry puree (see recipe Strawberry Puree) or 1/4 c cooked, peeled strawberries
1 ripe peeled, pitted peach
1 ripe peeled, chopped mango 
1/2 tsp of vanilla
(If fresh fruit is not available to you, frozen also works. However you must rinse with cold water in a colander for 5 min to remove preservatives.)
In a pot cook all fruit on med heat covered with a lid for 10 min or until steaming. 
Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Blend in whatever you use to make baby food (Baby Bullet, blender, food processor, etc.)
The fruit is juicy enough that you will probably not need to add any extra liquid for a smooth consistency. 
Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for 4-7 days or 1 month in the freezer. Great to also mix in with oatmeal or rice cereal. Enjoy!
