Hi
I feels so long since I've made my own baby food  I can't remember if you cook nectarines before you puree them? Or can you just give them to your baby raw? My youngest son is 6 months (corrected).
Can't think of anything better to do on such an awful day (weather wise) ------------- A very lucky mummy to two gorgeous boys: RB 3/10/2008 JB 29/12/2009 |

I would stew them first  but I guess if they are really soft you wouldn't need to, you could just mash them. -------------

I always cooked them before I pureed them. -------------

I've got Annabel Karmel's book Superfoods for Babies and Toddlers.
She says to pour boiling water over them for 2 minutes, then peel (really easy once they are inthe water this long) then puree. That's what I do, and I think it retains the flavour better. |

Thanks guys :o) I decided to stew them, but I might try the 2 minute thing next time ------------- A very lucky mummy to two gorgeous boys: RB 3/10/2008 JB 29/12/2009 |
