1. Plum Puree:
You will need:
1 cup fresh plums
Water – Room temperature and ice-cold
How to:
Wash the plums and let them dry. Add water in a pan and let it boil. Add the plums and let them stay in the boiling water for about 45 minutes. This process of treating plums is known as blanching. You may also try to steam them instead of blanching.
Meanwhile, put ice water in another pan and keep aside.
Using a spoon, remove the plums from the hot water, and immediately transfer them into the ice-cold water.
Remove the plum from the ice-cold water and use your fingers or a knife to peel off the skin.
Slice the plums from the middle and remove the seeds. Puree the plum in a blender or mash it until soft. You can add water or a bit of breast milk or formula milk to make it creamy.
2. Plum yogurt:
You will need:
1 cup fresh plums
1 cup unsweetened plain Greek yogurt
How to:
Make plum puree using fresh plums, as shown in the previous recipe.
In a serving bowl, add plain yogurt and plum puree. Mix well and serve.
You may also add a half-teaspoon dry fruit powder to this recipe before serving it to your baby.
