Plum Purée - 4 Ways to Make Plum Puree for Baby Food 

Basic Purée
Stage 2 (6-8) months+

1) Steam
Use any number of ripe plums that you desire.
Peel, pit and cut plums into chunks and steam until tender in a scant amount of water. Puree using the leftover cooking liquid


2) Blanch
1. Scrub fruit clean
2. Carve an X into 1 side of the fruit
3. Place X side down in a pan with an inch of water
4. Bring water to a boil and steam until soft and tender
5. Peel skin from fruit and remove pits and/or seeds

3) Bake
Halve the fruit, pit and place "open" side down in a pan filled with 1 inch of water, bake at 400F until soft and tender or puckering of the skin appears.


4) Drop & Roll
Drop whole, cleansed fruits into a pan of boiling water for 5-10 minutes, until fruits are soft
Place fruits into a bowl of cold water, roll around and slip off the skins then cut and pit the fruit. Puree as with any other fruit, adding lots of liquid if needed.


*** My Daughter LOVES these!  So no matter your take on them, try them!  They are super sweet though so be prepared for their little mouth to barely shut on the spoon before it is open again wanting MORE! ...:)
