Recipe Steps
Today, I’ve decided to prepare a delicious mango and apple puree recipe for babies. Mango, with its tropical sweetness, pairs perfectly with apple to create an irresistible flavor combination. This puree is ideal for babies starting from 6 months, during their introduction to solid foods.
Mangoes and apples are rich in vitamins and fiber, making them a nutritious and healthy choice for your baby. By steaming the fruits, we preserve their nutritional benefits while achieving a perfect texture for our little ones’ small mouths!
Here’s what you’ll need to make this mango and apple puree recipe for babies (From 6 months, yields 2 portions of applesauce):
Ingredients
- 200g ripe mango (7 ounces once peeled)
- 100g apple (3.5 ounces once peeled)
Preparation
Let’s start with the mango. To check if it’s ripe, simply slide a finger across the mango’s skin. If it slightly gives in all over, your mango is ready â easy!
After washing it thoroughly, you can peel it using this zero-waste tip:
Cut the mango in half. Remove the seed. Slide the mango along the edge of a glass to separate the skin from the flesh. Now, you can cut the mango flesh into pieces.
Here, I decided to cut the mango in half, removed the seed, created a grid pattern over the entire surface, and removed the obtained pieces :).
Now, the apple. Peel it, remove the seeds and hard parts, and cut it into pieces roughly the same size as the mango.
Place the mango and apple pieces in a steamer basket and start steaming. About 8 minutes of steaming is enough to get tender and flavorful fruits.
Meanwhile, prepare your blender. Once the fruits are cooked, place them in the blender and blend until you get a smooth consistency suitable for a 6-month-old baby.
You can add a bit of water if needed to adjust the texture, but be cautious and do it gradually to avoid making the compote too thin right away.
Finally, refrigerate the applesauce for about 2 hours before serving it to your baby. You’ll see, they’ll love it!
Enjoy, baby!
This mango and apple puree is a true explosion of flavors and benefits for your baby’s growth and development. Don’t hesitate to vary the fruits and explore new combinations to awaken your little gourmet’s taste buds!
Storage
Once the compote is prepared, let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Storage: Transfer the applesauce into an airtight container or a clean glass jar with a tightly sealed lid.
Refrigeration: Store the compote in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 to 3 days. Always keep it at an appropriate refrigeration temperature.
Freezer: If you want to keep it for a longer time, you can freeze it. Place the compote in an airtight freezer bag or a container suitable for freezing and label it with the date. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Tip: When thawing, place the compote in the refrigerator overnight or gently heat it in a double boiler for a perfect consistency.
Remember to check the smell and appearance of the compote before giving it to your baby after storage. If it seems to have gone bad or developed a strange odor, it’s best not to give it to your baby and discard it. Always prioritize freshness and food safety for the little ones!
