Ingredients required

Blueberry

½ cup( almost 120 g ) of Blueberries required that are soft and juicy enough.

Apple

1 medium-sized apple peeling or non-peeling is your choice. ( I would recommend peeling because apples’ outer layering contains fiber but I thought, it would be difficult for babies to digest it in the beginning. Once they are 1 year old then it will save enough to serve!)

Nutmeg spice

The addition of nutmeg spice to baby food (1 pinch) is just for adding more flavor and aroma to the puree recipes
