Banana And Raspberry Baby Food

Here is an extra recipe this month for you all!
Today Chloe thought it would be nice to make some baby food for her little brother William, so come see how easy it is to make your own homemade baby food!

Banana And Raspberry Baby Food
Makes around 8 0z. (1 oz. per. cup)


First cut up some yummy fresh banana and place it in a bowl. Chloe is using her knife from her toddler silverware set which works out great! 


Time to mash up those bananas! Chloe is making fast work of it. 


 

Well it is now break time for Chloe, so she is off to paint while mommy makes the raspberry sauce.


Mommy didn't remember to take pictures of herself making the sauce but here it is all done. All you do is cook down the raspberries in a sauce pan then strain the raspberries so there are no seeds. Ta-Da all finished!


Mix some of the raspberry sauce into the bananas. A little will go a long way!! Mommy froze the rest of the sauce to use in another time maybe making it a little sweet to put on ice cream or mix it in some whipped cream as a yummy light dessert yum yum!


Now it is ready to be put into cups and into the freezer till ready to use. Chloe is only filling each  cup with one ounce so mommy can choose how many ounces she wants to give William.  Make sure the lids are all on tight.

Banana, raspberry, baby food, homemade

All finished and ready for the freezer. It is best to use it with in 1 to 3 months. 
Tips: You can use any combo fruit (or sneak in some veggie) you wish. Chloe also made apple and raspberry as well as peach to go with some fresh bananas. Have fun coming up with different mixes. Chloe is thinking next time we should do carrots and bananas!! What a combo!!

Banana And Raspberry Baby Food
Makes around 8 0z. (1 oz. per. cup)
2 bananas
1/2 pint raspberries (I used a pint so I could have lots extra)

Cut and mash up bananas and set aside.
Place raspberries in sauce pan and mash down while cooking. Cook just till it becomes a sauce that coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and strain into a small bowl.
Add raspberry sauce to mashed bananas (about 2 tbsp. more or less) and stir up till well mixed. Place in cup containers and freeze till you want to use it. It is best to use it with in 1 to 3 months.
