Pear puree...

JuneBugsMommy

If you make up a big batch how do you keep it from turning brown??

I know lemon or lime juice will keep it from turning but I don't want to put that on DS' food.

I don't steam the pears or anything, just peel and throw in the magic bullet. I haven't made a big enough batch to need to freeze it yet, but I'm sure it would still turn brown even if I froze it.

Any tips?

I don't put anything in it.  It doesn't bother me if it turns brown - it is a natural process, not a sign that something is "bad".

ours have not turned. I freeze them in the tray right away.

I know they aren't bad and I still feed them to him. I'd just rather they stay their normal color lol.

Good to know, I'll have to freeze them.

DS LOVES them so I'd rather not make them every time.

I steamed them, threw them in the food processor, and froze them, and they didn't brown.

Steam them and they shouldn't turn brown.

Same here. If I freeze right away the don't turn brown but if I keep them in a fridge for a bit they do. It doesn't bother me if they turn though.
