At the beginning of weaning, pear is often one of the first fruits offered to baby: it is mild, naturally sweet and easy to digest. But once the first simple compotes have been tried, it is nice to add a little variety!
This pear and almond compote is perfect for adding a gentle touch of flavor. Almond butter enriches the compote with good fats and brings a subtle nutty taste that changes from classic baby fruit purees.
This is a simple, quick recipe, suitable from 4 months, as long as allergens are introduced carefully and according to your baby’s needs.
⚠️ Almond is an allergen and should be introduced with care:
- if already introduced → 10g is suitable
- if baby has never tried almond before → start with 1 teaspoon
Ingredients
For 1 serving:
Preparation
Peel the pear, remove the core and seeds, then cut it into small cubes.
Steam for 10 minutes, until the pear is soft and tender.
Blend the pear until smooth. Add a little cooking water if needed to adjust the texture.
Add the almond butter and mix well: use 1 teaspoon for a first introduction, or 10g if almond has already been introduced.
Enjoy, baby!
