This super simple stage 1 or 2 baby food is quick and easy to make, it has a vibrant flavor, and is a nice source of Vitamin C for little ones. Plus, you can make it with fresh or frozen pineapple so you can make it all year long no matter the season.

This pineapple puree works on its own or you can combine it with other foods including plain yogurt, oatmeal, or another baby food puree.

It’s also delicious for older kids and grown ups spooned over vanilla ice cream or pound cake, so it’s very versatile—in addition to being very easy.

Ingredients You Need

Here’s a look at what you need to make this pineapple puree recipe so you know what to have on hand.

  • Fresh or frozen pineapple:. You can use either of these according to which is more easily accessible for you. If using frozen pineapple, you will want to let it thaw before you try to blend it.
  • Liquid: You may need to add a little liquid (such as water, formula, or breastmilk) depending on how much moisture is in the fruit and what your intended use is. This is particularly delicious with coconut milk, so try it with full-fat coconut milk from a can, which is also a great nondairy option.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To freeze, portion puree into an ice cube tray and freeze for 4-6 hours or until frozen. Transfer to a freezer storage bag for up to 3 months. To thaw from frozen, place a cube into an airtight container and allow to thaw overnight in the fridge.

Best Tips for Success

  • To do this with frozen pineapple, thaw completely first at room temperature or warm for about a minute in the microwave.
  • If the blender has a hard time blending the fruit totally smooth, increase the amount of pineapple to 2 cups.
  • Serve as is or mix into yogurt, oatmeal, or a smoothie. You can also mix with full-fat coconut milk and serve as a sauce for pancakes or waffles.
  • Mix it with another puree as desired. We like this with Bean Puree, Mango Puree, Banana Puree, and Baby Oatmeal.
