Stewed apple or pear

Soft fruit without raw crunch — easy to mash and gentle for early fruit tastes.

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.
