FAQs

Can I freeze this plum, peach, and strawberry puree?

Yes, this fruit puree freezes beautifully. Pour it into ice cube trays or small freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to three months.

From what age can babies have this puree?

This peach, plum, and strawberry puree is generally suitable from around six months, when most babies are ready to begin weaning onto solid foods. Every baby is different, so always check with your health visitor or GP before introducing new foods to make sure they're right for your baby's stage of development. It's also worth noting that if you haven't already introduced these fruits individually, it's a good idea to do so before combining them. This way, if your baby has a reaction, you'll be able to identify which fruit caused it.

How do I adjust the texture of the puree?

For a smoother consistency, blend for a little longer or loosen with a splash of water, breast milk, or made-up formula. For older babies who are moving on to more textured foods, try mashing the fruit with a fork rather than blending to achieve a slightly chunkier result.
