Day 1 of Apple Puree

Today is the first time I am giving my boy apple puree. How do I make the puree? Here is the step:



You will need one apple.



(1) Take out the apple core as shown in the picture:

(2) Cut into 4 pieces. Do not remove the skin because this will help to retain most of the nutrients of the apple.



(3) While doing this, boil water so that you can steam the apple immediately once you are done with the cutting.



(4) Steam for about 15 to 20 minutes.



(5) Scrap out the apple flesh and throw away the skin.



(6) You can blend/grind the apple flesh till you get a smooth puree. I am using the Munchkin Manual Grinder. It is effective and produce a smooth puree as shown the picture below.

I was thinking of just feeding apple puree to my boy. Unfortunately, after one spoon, he gives me the disgusted look. So I decided to add 1 tablespoon of rice cereal, 1-2 teaspoons apple puree and breastmilk. I feed him the new combination and he takes it well. He finish everything up. The rest of the apple puree, I eat it. Why I don't freeze it? It is because I want my boy to have fresh food daily if possible.
