This berry purée is packed with antioxidants and bright flavor. Blueberries and blackberries create a rich, vibrant base, while a tiny squeeze of lemon lifts the fruit and enhances its natural sweetness. Here's how to whip up this 5 minute recipe in Babycook.
Ingredients
- ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- A few drops of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
1. Prep the berries: Rinse fresh berries thoroughly. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw.
2. Add water to the reservoir: Fill the Babycook water reservoir to Level 1.
(Berries soften quickly and require minimal steaming.)
3. Steam: Place the blueberries and blackberries into the steaming basket and run one steam cycle.
4. Blend: Transfer the steamed berries to the blending bowl. Add a few drops of fresh lemon juice. Blend until smooth, adding small amounts of the reserved cooking liquid as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Texture Tips
- For younger babies: Blend completely smooth and strain if you’d like to remove any remaining berry seeds.
- For older babies: Leave slightly thicker for more texture.
Always consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods to baby.
