Expert Answer

Banana is a great food to give to a baby because it's a very soft texture. It can be just mashed up with a fork, or add a little bit of breast milk and formula to thin it out, it can also be given as finger food starting around six months. To do this you can clean the peel well and remove an inch off the top of the banana, expose some of the meat inside and let the baby hold on to the peel. I would not give the banana as is without the peel because it can become very sticky.

Question

Would it still taste fine if you were to blend the apples without boiling them before hand?

Community Answer

Cooking the apples enhances their sweetness and softens them for easier blending. Your apple puree might be okay without boiling, but it depends on your apples, how particular you are about the taste, and what purpose you have for the puree.

Question

How can I store the puree in jars for weeks/months?

You can use jam jars to store the puree. After blending the apples, put the puree back in a sauce pan and heat. Keep stirring, and heat until it's starting to bubble. Pour into jars, and set aside until cooled. This can keep in the pantry for up to 12 weeks, and up to 2 weeks once opened.
