It\u2019s a simple, fruity, quick and easy recipe! This smooth and vitamin-packed pur\u00e9e is perfect for little ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many will tell you that clementines are safe from 4 months old. Technically, yes, it usually goes just fine (with supervision ;)). But I prefer recommending this recipe from 6 months, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/babyfood\/baby-food-recipes\/ingredient\/fruit\/clementine\/\" data-type=\"category\" data-id=\"203\">clementines<\/a> can be slightly acidic. They should be introduced with care to protect baby\u2019s delicate digestive system, especially for those who have only recently started solids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, <strong>if your baby suffers from reflux (GERD)<\/strong>, I\u2019d suggest skipping this pur\u00e9e, or at least checking with your pediatrician first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/babyfood\/baby-food-recipes\/ingredient\/fruit\/apple\/\" data-type=\"category\" data-id=\"69\">Apples<\/a> give this recipe a soft and smooth texture, along with lots of vitamins and a naturally sweet taste that babies usually already know and love, as apples are often one of the very first fruits introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to make this clementine and apple pur\u00e9e for babies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one 150g (about 5 oz) serving of pur\u00e9e:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 apple (Golden variety or similar)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 clementine<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:17px\">Peel and chop the <strong>apple<\/strong> into small pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:17px\">Peel the <strong>clementine<\/strong>, remove any seeds, and separate the segments.

The clementine juice should give the pur\u00e9e a lovely texture, but you can add a tiny bit of water if needed to adjust consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you notice small bits of clementine membrane, you can pass the pur\u00e9e through a fine mesh strainer to make it extra smooth. Tip: For this small quantity, a narrow baby food blender works best to get that silky texture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there you have it: a bright, vitamin-packed clementine and apple pur\u00e9e your baby will love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bon app\u00e9tit, little one! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pomme-vapeur-pour-bebe.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pomme-vapeur-pour-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Steamed apple for baby\" class=\"wp-image-11673\" style=\"width:551px;height:auto\" title=\"Steamed apple for baby\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pomme-clementine-vapeur-pour-bebe.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/pomme-clementine-vapeur-pour-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Steamed apple slices, soft and perfect for baby food\" class=\"wp-image-11672\" style=\"width:551px;height:auto\" title=\"Steamed apple slices, soft and perfect for baby food\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/compote-clementine-pomme-mixee-pour-bebe.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/compote-clementine-pomme-mixee-pour-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Steamed apple and clementine for baby\" class=\"wp-image-11670\" style=\"width:551px;height:auto\" title=\"Steamed apple and clementine for baby\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In the fridge:<\/strong><br>Store in an airtight container for <strong>24 to 48 hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In the freezer:<\/strong><br>This pur\u00e9e freezes very well in small individual portions for up to <strong>1 month<\/strong>.<br>Thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1731579427762\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I replace the clementine with another citrus fruit?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes!
