I keep buying apples! The last few months, whenever I have picked up my produce, the apples have looked so colorful and tempting. Every visit finds me buying at least one or two. I think I easily have over 4 kilo in my pantry!
Today is the day that they will be whisked away into a delightful puree. In my college years, I would can applesauce with the fresh Fall apples. With the Babycook, life is so much simpler, and I'm not looking back!
Granted, I am freezing the purees, not canning, but the entire process is done without ever cracking out the blender or pots. In fact, I will be messy-ing nothing other than my little Babycook, knife and a cutting board. Whoopee!
The most satisfying result: eating --and feeding -- fresh purees for the next few months. It is fantastic that I'm saving extraordinary amounts of money on baby food, but what gets me really jazzed is the reaction of my babies to the purees.
How do we like it? Warmed applesauce over plain yogurt, on toast, with cheese chunks, added to vegetable purees to sweeten the bitter/pain (thinking zuchhini puree with skins on here), with musli, added to milkrice, over grains...Even throwing in a few peaches, apricots, plums or berries adds a fun twist!
Maybe next post I'll give some feedback on the spices I'm using.
