Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Grains

  • 2 pears, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 3 dates

Spices and Liquids

  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Cook the pears, oats, and cloves: Combine the chopped pears, old-fashioned oats, water, and ground cloves into a medium saucepan. Heat on medium-low, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until the pears are tender.
  2. Soak the dates: Place the dates in a small bowl and cover them with very warm water. Allow them to soak for 10 minutes to soften, ensuring ease of blending.
  3. Blend the puree: Drain the soaked dates and add them along with the cooked pear and oats mixture into a blender or food processor. For a smooth Stage 2 puree, blend continuously for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. For a chunkier Stage 3 puree, pulse the mixture in 5-second intervals until desired chunky texture is reached.

Notes

  • Ensure the pears are ripe and soft for better flavor and texture.
  • You can adjust the water quantity slightly depending on desired puree consistency.
  • The soaked dates add natural sweetness without added sugar.
  • For babies new to oats, introduce gradually to monitor any allergic reactions.
  • This puree can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours or frozen for up to a month.
