Soft ripe pear and banana make a creamy, naturally sweet spoon-fed mixture. Firm pear should be cooked first; both fruits need to mash without hard pieces.
Wash, core and deseed the pear. Peel if needed and steam pieces if firm until they crush easily; cool.
Peel a ripe soft banana and mash thoroughly with the pear.
Blend smoother if necessary and serve promptly on a spoon.
Core and deseed the pear, remove tough skin and mash with a fully ripe banana. Offer a smooth blend or a soft mash depending on your baby's feeding skills.
Smooth blend.
Soft mash.
These fruits contain no intentionally added common major allergens, though individual allergies remain possible.
