Stewed Fruits and Baby Purees

Well my gorgeous little 5 month old man started solids this weekend. Much to his utter disgust I might add! I thought apples would surely be a hit (how wrong was I!) so I whipped out my trusty Stack Cooker to give it a whirl at this baby food making business!

Oh my goodness! This was so much easier then getting out the steamer and saucepan and waiting for the water to boil before adding the fruit and vegetables. In less than 6 minutes I had perfectly stewed apples ready to be blitzed in the food processor for a minute! Gosh I wish I had one of these when I was making baby food and purees for my first son. What a time saver.

Remove the skin and core from 6 medium Apples. Chop into medium sized chunks. Rinse off in water. Add to the 2.25lt bowl along with 1 tabs of water. Cook in the microwave for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes remove and place into the food processor with approximately 1/2 cup of cooled boiled water.

Done!

Any vegetable or fruit can be steamed or stewed in the Stack Cooker in a matter of minutes. Obviously the harder the vegetable the longer the cooking time or the smaller you chop it.

The beauty of the Stack Cooker is you can add the 1.5lt bowl full of another type of food or vegetable. So you can have steamed apples and pears for example in 6 minutes. Not bad!

Until next time, happy cooking!!!
