Ingredients:
4 pears
4 peaches
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
Preparation:
Preheat the steamer on high heat.
Thoroughly wash the pears and peaches, then pat dry. Peel the pears, cut into quarters, and remove the cores and all the seeds. Peel the peaches, cut them into quarters, and remove the pits along with any hard fibers that were surrounding them.
Peaches originated in China over 4,000 years ago and were considered a symbol of immortality and friendship. They are related to almonds. You might notice the similarity in their pits.
Reduce the heat to medium and place your peaches and pears into the steamer. Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the fruit is tender. Check if they are done by piercing with a fork. They should be se soft but holding their shape.
Pears have been cultivated for over 3,000 years and were a favorite of ancient Romans. They are one of the few fruits that don’t ripen well on the tree. It is best to ripen pears off the tree in a cool, dark place.
If the fruit is still tough steam for another 5 minutes and test again. Once thoroughly cooked, take the peaches and pears out of the steamer. Place them on a pate or in a bowl and set aside to cool.
When the fruit has cooled to room temperature or slightly warmer, place a small handful into a blender and run the machine at low-speed. As the fruit begins to liquify, add small handfuls one at a time until all the fruit is in the blender. Turn up the blender to high speed and run it until the fruit turns into a smooth puree.
Greek Yogurt is a traditional food in Greece and has been a staple in Mediterranean diets for centuries. It is made by straining regular yogurt to remove whey, resulting in a thicker consistency and higher protein content.
Reduce the speed back to low and slowly add the yogurt. Give it another minute or so at high-speed so that all the ingredients are thoroughly blended. It should be velvety smooth. You can add a little water, formula, or breast milk to reach your desired consistency.
This recipe makes a big batch. For a smaller batch, use one pear, one peach, and about 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt. This puree will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Remember that pureed baby food oxidizes quickly losing much of it’s nutrients when stored in the fridge.
This recipe is ideal for quick breakfasts and snacks. We like to pour our leftovers into meal sized containers and freeze for easy grab-and-go options. You can store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy this simple and healthy Greek yogurt with peaches and pears baby food puree recipe!
