Carrot, Mango + Apricot Baby Food Puree
Celebrate fall with this homemade bright orange Carrot + Mango + Apricot baby food puree. This puree is easy to make and has a naturally sweetened yet earthy taste, which I know will be devoured by your little one.

Carrot, Mango + Apricot Baby Food Puree
Celebrate Halloween and all of Fall with this bright orange baby food puree that is filled with carrots, mangos and dried apricots.
We made this easy puree by gently steaming carrots and mango until just tender. At the same time, a few dried apricots were soaked. Then we mix it all together in a blender before puree until smooth and creamy. If you have frozen or fresh apricots, you can use those as well.
This puree is extremely freezer-friendly, so you may want to make a double batch so you can have some on hand for feature meals.
It’s sweet, earthy and rich with just a bit of sass from the mango. A special treat for your young goblin!

I just found your site last night and OMG! LOOVVVVEE!! Ive been making my daughters baby food for about a month and I can not wait to try some of these recipes!!
One question tho…a lot of the ones I want to try call for Mango…I live in Michigan and we dont get good fresh mangos here. Could I use frozen mango instead? And if so…how would that make things differ when cooking? Ive seen you steaming them and roasting them…etc. THANKS!
PS: I hope you post more recipes soon! (I signed up for the newsletter also!)
Sorry for the delay. Yes, you can always use frozen in place of fresh ingredients if you can’t find good quality fresh ingredients. If you are steaming just use frozen, roasting you can thaw first and then use.
Let me know what your favorite recipes are!
