Age: 6+ months
Yield: 12 ounces of cherry puree
Note on Yogurts: you can serve baby plain full-fat yogurt, Greek Yogurt, goats yogurt, nut or plant based yogurt. I would just recommend serving baby a plain yogurt without any added sugar. 
Storage: Fridge – store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days with or without the yogurt added. Freezer – the cherry puree can be frozen for up to 4 months (this and thisare my favorite freezer storage containers), it is recommend to add the yogurt after defrosting.
