Making food question - Pears specifically

Antoe2007

So, I'm going to make my own food for my LO for the first time and Im using pears (they were on sale) .  I looked at wholesomefood website and it says to remove the skin and thats about it.  Im guessing puree?  And do I really need to add water?  It seems like a watery fruit.  And I have four pears, so I was planning on freezing them...Is it literally that simple?  I was going to use a ice tray and once frozen..put into freezer bags...This is right?  I just dont want to mess up my first time!  Thanks SO much for any advice!

It is that simple. It's actually ridiculous, Peel them, cut them into pieces. Put them in a pot, a splash of AJ or water, (a splash of vanilla or even a dash cinnamon if you want).  Simmer til they're soft and puree or mash depending on what your LO eats.

I cut them into small pieces after peeling then steam them. I use the water leftover from steaming (lots of nutrients in the water) them to get the right texture and then through them in ice cube trays for the freezer. I haven't started solids yet but am working on a supply.
