Tips:

There are 25 different types of apples present in the world Golden delicious, pink lady, envy, honey crisp, gala, and pizazz. Fuji etc. I have used Fuji apples because they can enhance the taste of other ingredients and act as taste enhancers. Firstly they are unique because of their mild flavor secondly, the type of apple goes well in making a puree with bananas.

Bananas should be ripped having black to brown spots on their peel. These bananas also act as constipation relievers as compared to green ones.

Step-by-step directions

• First, peel an Apple and core it properly. Make sure there will be no seeds inside.
•  Slice them into two halves.

• After coring apples Cut bananas and apples into chunks.

• Place all pieces into a thick-based saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of water.
• Cover it with a lid and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
• Take a banana peel it and mash it with a fork. Place it aside.
• After 10 minutes Apples become soft.
• Blend banana and apple in a Food processor with 2 tbsp of milk inside for smooth texture and consistency. Add 1 pinch of cinnamon spice as a taste elevator.

 Now it’s time to serve your baby with a smooth, sweet taste, and delicious Banana and apple Puree. It can be served at breakfast or lunchtime. As this recipe is friendly in every aspect you can give it to your baby as much as he wants without fear of getting an allergy at all.

Recipe Notes

• Always take Fresh fully ripped bananas. If you take an unripe one, it will destroy the taste of puree, and the baby will not like it.
• I have used 1 pinch of cinnamon spice because its taste is not dense and well suited to baby taste.
• You can use other spices like nutmeg, cumin, and thyme. But only 1 pinch is required of any using spice.
• I used 2-3 tbsp. of milk, you can make this puree with simple water in the same amount.
• As bananas and apples are sweet in nature, I have not used sugar because I want to introduce this puree naturally to the baby. But you can add if your baby likes it.

Storing and preservation:

Refrigeration:

Take freezing plates and add an even amount of puree to each. Tap them to remove all air pockets. Freeze for 24 hours.

Advantage:

You can defrost according to the baby’s requirements. May add again 2 to 3 tbsp of milk for making the right consistency.

For longer Time preservation:

For longer time preservation purposes we just need to put all our baby puree in a container that must be airtight with some drops of lime juice inside. By using this method we can store them for almost 3 months.
