Baby Prunes and Apples

My second child was very "stuck" around seven months, and pears just didn't do the trick as they did for my first child. I started serving this to him for breakfast, and he became a much happier guy. I enjoy making a batch of this during his morning nap while my two year old reads or does puzzles at my feet.

INGREDIENTS:
8 prunes
2 organic apples, cored, peeled and sliced

In a medium sauce pan, place prunes and add filtered water until prunes are covered (about an inch). Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Add apple slices and continue to simmer covered for 5 minutes.


Pour into a glass bowl and let cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes).

Spoon prunes, a few apple slices and some of the water into food processor. Run until prunes are a smooth puree. Add rest of the apple slices and as much of the remaining water as desired for your preferred consistency (depending on the age of the infant).

Spoon puree into ice cube trays to freeze. Once frozen, place into freezer bags for many breakfasts to come!

TO SERVE:
2 cubes warmed (or 1 cube and 1 pear cube)
a few shakes of baby cereal (I use Earth's Best)
filtered water or breast milk

Mix and serve! Makes about a 3/4 cup.
