hehehe..yess, in order to incorporate the wise as per say, mommy'll ensure adam gets an apple for every single day without fail! mommy, with her utmost attempt prepare the puree fruits all by herself - the not so good in cooking, but have big heart to accomodate the needs for the little boy. the home made food :) it's free of additives that a tiny tummy simply does not need and delicately made with love. Do the commercial baby food companies put this much love and care into their jars? erk, no i'm afraid.
Having said, here i'm posting an entry on another pureed fruits i made for Adam last nite:
the apples and pears were cut into pieces before placing it in the steamer pot
steamed for about 10 minutes - to softened a bit the texture otherwise the blender'll blew u away. ahh, why steam? it's the super best way to keep the nutrientfrom refraining. Steaming as a cooking method helps foods retain their levels of water soluble vitamins too and allows the foods to be surrounded by steam rather than soaked in water.
the steamed fruits blend it all (the mixer apparently was one from vast collection i received for my wedding gift. good that i dun need to spend on a new one:p )
and there you are..let it chill for like half an hour in room temperature before tossing into the fridge. From a reading i made, from this particular site, it is recommended that fresh pureed homemade baby food be stored no longer than 48 hours (many food safety authorities say that 72 hour is fine.) in the refrigerator. Why? Well, basically this limit ensures that bacteria growth in the puree is kept to a minimum and that the food does not take on the "taste of the fridge".
per jar, is usually for two serving per day. so normally, i'll take a jar a day to send to his kakak fatin's house. easy peasy lemon squeezy :)
