Summer squash puree: master this simple, healthy baby food in minutes. Perfect for introducing solids to your little one with natural sweetness.
Ingredients
- 2 Yellow Squash, chopped
- Water for steaming
- Liquid from steamer pot
- Food processor
- Steamer pot
- Bowl for serving
Instructions
- Place the chopped yellow squash in a steamer pot over boiling water.
- Steam for 3 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender.
- Carefully transfer the steamed squash to a food processor.
- Blend until smooth, adding 1 tablespoon of the steamer liquid at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Notes
- Use ripe, firm yellow squash for the best flavor and texture. Look for squash free of blemishes. - If you don't have a steamer, you can boil the squash until tender, but steaming helps retain more nutrients. - For a thicker puree, use less steaming liquid; for a thinner consistency, add more until it's perfect for your baby.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftover puree in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays for up to 3 months, then transfer cubes to a freezer bag.
