Annabel Karmel's Tasty Recipes
Apple and pear
First tastes from around six months 
Apple and pear puree is an ideal first food being easy to digest and unlikely to cause allergies. Choose sweet apples like the Pink Lady variety or Royal Gala. Apples and pears contain pectin which can slow things down if your baby has loose stools.
2 dessert apples
2 ripe pears (eg Conference pears)
4 tbsp pure unsweetened apple juice or water
pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
Put the fruit into a saucepan together with the apple juice or water, cover and cook over a low heat until tender (about six to eight minutes). If you like, you could add a pinch of cinnamon. Blend the fruit to a smooth puree.

Yoghurt with apricot and banana
Not suitable for freezingFrom six months
Bananas make perfect instant baby food and they combine well with many other fruits like peach, mango, blueberry and strawberries. They are easy to digest, unlikely to cause an allergy and good for the treatment of constipation and diarrhoea. Babies need more fat in their diet than adults so don't give low-fat yoghurt. I like to use Onken natural yoghurt as it has a mild flavour.
2 tbsp chopped dried apricots
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp mild natural yogurt
1 medium size ripe banana
Put the apricots into a pan, cover with the water, bring to a simmer and cook over a low heat for two three minutes. Put in a blender together with the yoghurt and the sliced banana and blend to a puree.
Makes 1 portion
