Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Yellow Squash, chopped
  • Water for steaming
  • Liquid from steamer pot
  • Food processor
  • Steamer pot
  • Bowl for serving

Method
 

  1. Place the chopped yellow squash in a steamer pot over boiling water.
  2. Steam for 3 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender.
  3. Carefully transfer the steamed squash to a food processor.
  4. 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.
