📝 Editor's Note

This purée can be easily adjusted in texture by blending less for a chunkier option as your baby becomes more accustomed to solids. Always ensure apricots are ripe and soft to make blending easier.

  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup ripe apricots, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions until soft.
  2. Wash and chop the apricots, removing the pits.
  3. Combine the cooked rice, apricots, and water in a blender.
  4. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed for desired consistency.
  5. If using, add cinnamon and lemon juice and blend again.

🍴 Serving Suggestion

Serve the purée at room temperature or slightly warmed. Pair with a soft banana or a small portion of yogurt for added nutrition.
