Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp plain pasteurised cottage cheese (preferably lower salt)
  • 2 tbsp ripe soft peach, peeled if the skin is tough and with stone removed

Preparation

  1. Check that the cottage cheese is made from pasteurised milk, contains no unsuitable additions, and is within its use-by date. Keep refrigerated.

  2. Wash and halve the peach, remove the hard stone and any tough skin. If firm, steam until fully tender, then cool. Mash the peach completely.

  3. Stir the peach into cottage cheese; blend or mash larger curds if a smoother texture is needed. Serve promptly and cool, with no firm fruit chunks.

Serving by Age

Offer on a spoon with soft fruit and finely mashed cottage cheese curds. This is not finger food; progress to gentle lumps only as the child manages them.

6 months+

Serve as a smooth, cool spoon-fed mixture, blending larger curds if needed.

9 months+

Offer finely mashed cheese curds mixed with very soft peach, with no tough skin or firm pieces.
