Pumpkin Baby Food

IMG_4393
In celebration of fall I made Cati pumpkin over the weekend. I had bought a small pumpkin especially for her but decided to use half of it for her and the other half for my baking. She seemed to really enjoy the pumpkin when I first gave it to her and the next day I used it to mask the taste of turkey.

Pumpkin Baby Food
Makes ~2 cups

1/2 of a 3-5lb pumpkin, roasted and scooped  (instructions on how to roast a pumpkin here)
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Breast milk, formula, water (optional)

Place warm pumpkin in food processor. Add butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Purée until smooth. Add liquid until pumpkin reaches best consistency for eating.

Storage: 3 days in the fridge, 3 months in the freezer.

Note: The pumpkin had great, smooth consistency so I did not add any liquid.

For babies 6 months and up, it's a very simple and healthy recipe. Thanks for post this recipe for nurture and nourish babies. For babies, it's a very simple and healthy recipe. Thanks for post this recipe for nurture and nourish babies.
