Last night I turned 2 huge zuchinni and 2 huge summer squash into some delicious puree for my favorite little baby. It was my first time making baby food. I always wanted to try with Boston but just never did it.
I'm so glad I did! It's going to make me feel so much better knowing what's in there - not to mention I got the squash locally ALL for $2.50. Can't beat that.
Next I need to figure out how to make fruit into puree.. hmm. Can you tell I hardly ever cook?
Re: I'm a babyfood making machine
for bananas you just mush them up and same with avocados - no cooking invovled.
for most other fruits I usually cooked them a bit, well really i steamed them until they were soft. i did apples, apricots, pears, prunes (those I used dried and simmered until they were soft again)... anything i could peel and simmer I did. I think the only one I wouldn't try is grapes or something like that. or melon but I suppose you could just run it through with an immersion blender...
I will definitely check out that site Renee.
