This simple puree is no-cook, so be sure to start with great-tasting berries. It's a perfect fruit puree for a baby, or a delicious way to add flavor to yogurt and oatmeal for all members of the family. (It's also great with ice cream and waffles!)
Wash and dry the berries. Remove the stems and slice. You'll want at least 1 cup of sliced berries.
Add to a blender.
Blend until very smooth.
Notes
Store it in the fridge in small airtight containers for up to 3 days.
Freeze small portions in an ice cube tray, then transfer the cubes to a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw one or two cubes at a time in a small airtight container in the fridge overnight before you plan to serve.
This is extra delicious during the spring when fresh local berries are in season, but you can make it any time of the year.
Try stirring some of the puree into yogurt, baby oatmeal (or your oatmeal!), or add to a smoothie.
If the puree tastes tart to you, it will taste tart to baby. If you think it's too tart, stir in a little plain whole-milk yogurt or applesauce.
