{Tiny Tot Tuesdays} Homemade Organic Baby Pears

Bradley loves his pears almost as much as he loves his applesauce! I serve these to him in the morning mixed in with oatmeal and apples, and he devours it. Literally. Sometimes I even hear a little "mmm" humming from his lips. His legs also kick out of pure joy the whole time he is eating. It's the cutest thing ever. 

Pears are just as easy to make as apples, so I suggest making a big batch to freeze. I love eating them as well, so you can save a little on the side for yourself while you're at it!

Ingredients
Makes 12 servings

• 4 organic pears (I used Bartlett)
• Purified water

Heat a large pot of water to boiling. 

Peel and core the pears. Rinse under cold water then cut into chunks.

Add the pears to the water and cook for 10 minutes, or until tender.

Drain pears and add to a food processor. Add a couple tablespoons of purified water and process until smooth. Add more water, if necessary, to get to your desired consistency.

Allow to cool then serve to your baby with a spoon. I recommend adding some breast milk or formula to the pureed pears as well...this thins out the pears and adds a flavor they already know and enjoy.

If saving for a later date, pour it into storage cups to freeze or refrigerate. You can refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze for 30 days. Make sure you label your pears! Once you are ready to serve, heat the refrigerated or frozen pears up in the microwave and allow to cool to just warmer than room temperature. Add breast milk or formula to thin it out.

*Consult with your pediatrician before feeding your baby solid foods and to see what amount/type of food you should give your child.
