Hi Michele,
When I first made this for my daughter (11months) she loved it (and i mean LOVED it, which is a big deal since she’s a super picky eater), so I made a bunch more and froze it. Now we’ve started defrosting the freezer stash (from about a month ago) and she won’t touch it! It’s true that it seems a bit more watery now… Is there something I can/should do to return the defrosted purée to its original glory?
Sorry to hear this. Maybe try adding in yogurt, oatmeal (or cereal she likes), or more apple puree.
