1tablespoonunsalted butter(or avocado or olive oil)
Instructions
Halve the apricots and remove the pits. Slice into 1-inch slices.
Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. When melted, add the apricot slices and stir gently to coat. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is soft but still holding together. Remove from heat.
Let cool slightly and serve BLW-style.
Or, add fruit to a blender and blend until smooth, adding 1-2 tablespoons water, formula, or breastmilk until you reach the desired consistency.
Notes
Store the puree or slices in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days, or freeze the baby food for longer-term.
If you have the option, choose local, very fresh apricots. (They may be less likely to be underripe and should have better flavor.)
Remove the pits and cut lengthwise so the fruit is ready for BLW.
If the puree is very tart after blending, add a ripe banana or 1 cup applesauce to help even out the flavors.
