Stewing softens fruit and makes it easier to digest than raw pieces for early eaters.
What you need • Half a ripe apple or pear, peeled and cored • 2–3 tbsp water
How to make it
- Chop into small pieces.
- Simmer with water on a low flame until soft (about 8–10 minutes).
- Mash or blend until smooth. Cool completely before serving.
- Offer a small amount the first time.
A little tip: No sugar, honey or jaggery under 1 year. Pear is often gentler if apple feels a bit sharp.
