All fresh fruits must be cooked until they are soft before pureeing.
Except for Bananas, Papayas.
In case of Bananas one medium size fully ripe can be peeled. One half it can be feed to the kid. Cover the other half and store in the refrigerator not more than 2 days. Mash the half banana with a spoon or in a small blender and you can feed the kid directly with a spoon, one small bite at a time.
How to cook the Fruits:
Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plums and other hard fruits can be prepared by one of following methods that I am gonna mention:
Boiling:
Wash Fruit, Peel, Cut into small pieces, All 1 cup of the cut fruit to ¼ cup of boiling water. Simmer until tender; it takes around 10 – 20 minutes. Don’t add sugar, go with the natural sweetness of the fruit. Blend until smooth. Feed the kid the paste with the spoon, and you can freeze the rest and use it with 2 days.
Steaming:
Wash fruit, Steam for 15-20 minutes, you can use cooker or steamer. Cool, remove the core, seeds or pits. Blend until smooth. Feed the kid the paste with the spoon, and you can freeze the rest and use it with 2 days.
Microwaving:
Wash one piece of fruit, Remove core and seeds, Place a small glass with 2-3 teaspoons of water. Cover tightly. Microwave 1-2 minutes until the fruit is tender. Cool, Peel and blend until smooth. Feed the kid the paste with the spoon, and you can freeze the rest and use it with 2 days.
Note: By the use of above mentioned 3 methods, Fresh vegetables such as carrots, beets, Potatoes, Peas, Green beans etc can also be feed to the kid
