Munchy Monday #27: Fruit puree

Now there is not such a variety of fruit on the shop shelves there is nothing nicer than combining the three most basic fruits together, just to make a change. The quantities given will serve 4 to 6 people, but you can vary them depending on what you have at home and how many mouths you have to feed. I usually allow 1 piece of fruit per adult + 1.

You will need:

2 Apples
2 Bananas
Juice of 2 oranges*
2 Maria type biscuits (optional)

Method:

Peel, core and quarter the apples. Peel the bananas and chop into pieces. Puree all ingredients in a tall jug or deep sided bowl.

If you are not going to serve immediately, you will need to add a squirt of lemon juice so that the fruit doesn't oxidize.


* We can buy a special variety of orange that has very thin skin and very fine pith. One orange will sometimes make a glass full of juice. You will have to arrange the recipe according to what is available where you live.

Note: This puree is baby's first weaning food here in Catalonia. Of course, what baby leaves is good for Mum to finish off!   Omnomnom ; )

Another not: to make this wheat free, just omit the biscuits!
