Carrot is sweet, tasty and babies just love it! It is so versatile and is a gold mine of nutrients. You can steam, mash, boil, fry or bake carrot and you get a slightly different flavour with each. You can mix it with fruits, vegetables or meat and it still tastes great.

Cut pears and carrots into small pieces being careful to dice the carrots into smaller pieces than the pears so that they cook at the same time.

Steam the diced carrots and pears for about 15 min or until soft.

Purée the pears and carrots in a food processor or blender, using a little of the cooking liquid to get a desired smooth consistency (approx 2 tbsp). You can also use breast milk or formula to mix with the purée.
