How to Make Strawberry Purée | DIY Baby Food



Strawberries are great for making a super quick puree that works well for introducing a single food or adding a touch of sweetness to your combined baby food purées. By making your own baby food, you know exactly what goes into it and can avoid preservatives. We are choosing to start adding in purees at 6 months, but talk to your doctor to decide when to introduce foods into your baby's diet. For our homemade baby food, we are using organic produce to avoid any pesticides or other chemicals being added to our baby's puree. Ideally, we would grow our own, but that adds a whole lot of work to this simple process. By buying fresh fruit when it is in season, you can save money on your baby food as well! 




Start by rinsing well. If you're not using organic consider doing a short baking soda soak. 

Cut off any bruised or overly ripe. You'll also cut off the greens and core the strawberries. Rough chop your strawberries. 

Either boil (cook down) your strawberries without adding any water or sugar until softened or steamed for roughly ten minutes. 

Transfer to a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth. 

Adjust consistency by adding breast milk, water or formula. We are waiting to add milk to allow us to freeze this batch in bulk and potentially use in baking if we don't need all the puree for baby food. You can also use the ice cube tray freezing method for easy 1 oz servings, can the baby food or free in small batches.
