Baby Food Pear and Apple Puree

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ripe USA pear, any variety
• 1 USA apple
• 1 cinnamon stick (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Peel the pear and apple, remove the cores, and cut them into chunks.
2. Place the pear and apple pieces into a saucepan and add enough water to just cover
   them.
3. Add the cinnamon stick and simmer the mixture gently until the fruit is tender. If
   the pear is very ripe, it may soften before the apple. You can remove it first to avoid
   overcooking.
4. Remove the cinnamon stick, then puree or mash the fruit to suit your baby’s preferences.

* Note: It’s a good idea to prepare this recipe for your baby without the cinnamon stick the first time you try it. This will help you identify if the cinnamon causes any adverse reactions when you first introduce it.
