📝 Editor's Note

Start with a small amount to ensure your baby enjoys the flavor. You can mix in a little breast milk or formula for added creaminess. For a twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon for older babies.

  • 1 ripe pear, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the pear, then dice it into small pieces.
  2. In a small pot, combine the diced pear, cooked rice, and water.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the pear is soft.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze portions in an ice cube tray for convenient meal prep. Adjust the texture by blending less for a thicker purée or adding more water for a thinner consistency.
