I\u2019ve yet to meet the baby who doesn\u2019t like blueberries! And these juicy little fruits don\u2019t just taste delicious, they are absolutely packed with goodness for your tiny diner.<\/p>\n

\"A\"A<\/p>\n

Blueberries are classed as \u2018superfruits\u2019<\/h2>\n

Although they deserve that name just for their wonderful taste, blueberries are considered superfruits because they are so incredibly good for you (and your baby). <\/p>\n

Research has shown them to be even higher in valuable antioxidants than fruits like cranberries or grapes. They are also known to have a beneficial effect on your baby\u2019s brain (see this post for more details<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Full of vitamins and minerals, blueberries have a very gentle, laxative effect on the body. This means they are great for helping prevent constipation<\/a> \u2013 a common problem in younger babies whose digestive systems are just getting used to coping with solid foods.<\/p>\n

We have a page devoted to blueberries here<\/a>, where you can learn lots more about them and the best way to introduce them to your baby.<\/p>\n

The following recipe is very simple to make. Its taste and texture are perfect for younger babies and you can easily adjust the quantities to make a larger batch if you prefer. You can then freeze it into handy portions for future use \u2013 I\u2019d recommend using them within a month for the very best flavor.<\/p>\n

For Baby\u2019s Blueberry and Apple Puree You Will Need\u2026<\/h3>\n

1\/3 cup fresh blueberries
1 small apple, peeled (or you can leave it unpeeled if you prefer \u2013 find out more about whether to peel fruits and veggies here<\/a>)*
Water<\/p>\n

*Try to use a sweet apple, so that the puree is not too tart. If it is still not sweet enough for your baby, try adding a little pureed banana to the mix!<\/p>\n

1. Core the apple and cut into dice.<\/p>\n

2. Place the apple in a small saucepan and just cover with water, then bring to the boil.<\/p>\n

3. Simmer for 2 minutes or so until almost tender, then add the blueberries. Simmer for another 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

4. Drain (reserving the water), then blend using a baby food processor or stick blender until smooth. Add back a little of the reserved cooking water if you need to loosen the puree up.<\/p>\n

This recipe makes around half a cup (4 fl oz) of puree. <\/p>\n
