Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 1/4 cup Water*
Instructions
- If baking, Cook Sweet Potatoes in Crockpot, and scoop out softened inside after cooking.
- If boiling, wash and peel Sweet Potatoes, cube, and boil until very soft and tender {approx. 20+ minutes}
- Once you have softened Sweet Potatoes, add to Blender or Food Processor {I used my Vitamix}. Also pour in water, and blend or pulse {stirring as necessary}, until you reach desired consistency. {more water can be added for a thinner consistency}
- Transfer Sweet Potato Puree to OXO Tot Baby Blocks, pop on lids, and store in Refrigerator or Freezer.
- Pull out one at a time, and allow to come to room temperature prior to feeding to baby.
Notes
If storing in the freezer, use within 3 months. *Water amount will vary depending on how large the sweet potatoes are and the consistency you want for Baby… just make sure it’s not too thick.
Wasn’t that so EASY? Now you can stock the fridge and freezer with healthy food for Baby!
Homemade Baby Food Tips from Your Frugal Friends:
Ashley writes: “My daughter loves her sweet potatoes… sometimes I add a pinch of cinnamon or even a pinch of nutmeg she enjoys both.”
Paulette said: “I found it was so much more cost efficient to make my own. Plus, I knew there was no additives, just wholesome goodness. I mashed up large quantities of a single fruit or vegetable and froze. No spices or sugars added, let the palate learn the natural taste. One new food per week so could check for allergies.”
Heidi said: ” I made food for both of my boys…never bought baby food.”
Ashlie writes: “I tried this recipe works great such a good idea”
Kathy said: “If there weren’t many spices in the food, I mashed up and feed them what we ate.”
Michele writes: “My girls are 16 & 18 now. I did make all their baby food. I got fresh veggies from relatives that had gardens.”
