Apricot + Pear with Coconut Oil Baby Food Puree
This Apricot + Pear with Coconut Oil Baby Food is a fresh and creamy puree that baby will love! A great puree to introduce to baby in the summer months when apricots are fresh and bursting with flavor! Great baby food for 4+ months – stage 1 baby food.
I have been un-intentionally gone for the last week or so due to a visit from my in-laws, construction on my house taking w.a.y. longer then expected but mostly because during the time I usually work during the day [Little E’s nap time] I have been napping as well.
With less then 4 weeks to go until Baby FoodE #2 arrives, I have hit my wall.
A really high wall made up of fatigue, swollen ankles and an extreme case of mommy brain.
I have been trying to break down this wall with eating a ton of popsicles, drinking gallons of lemonade and having a nightly bedtime of 9pm, but so far I have found those items useless in my pursuit to get over it all.
So please be patient with me during the next couple of months as I wind down a little and try to figure out how to take some time off after the baby comes.
Just because there may not be as many posts or insightful thoughts into baby food, life or being a mother from me, doesn’t mean that I won’t still be here cheering you on to make the most delicious baby food for your little loves.
However, the other day I had just enough time and energy to make this simple puree and had to share it with you. Nothing fancy, just fresh apricots and pears simmered down with a little water and a dollop of coconut oil for some extra healthy fat.
Simple.
Easy.
Fast!
That is the name of the game with me these day. Enjoy!

Would this work as well with dried apricots? Maybe soaked in boiling water or something first? Thanks!
Yes! I haven’t tried it but you could totally try it. And yes, I would just soak a couple dried apricots in boiling water for 5-10 minutes and then blend with the pears! If you try it, let me know how it works!

Love your recipe.. It’s always best to store all food in glass or silicon, never plastic of any kind.

Do you leave the skin on these fruits?
You can do either. Depending on if you want to peel them. If you have a high-speed blender you won’t have to peel them.
