How to make apple & pear sauce

  1. Peel, core and dice the apples and pears into even pieces.
  2. Place in a saucepan with 3 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until completely soft and breaking down.
  3. Remove from heat and mash with a fork or blend to your desired consistency — chunky for older babies, smooth for younger ones. Cool before serving. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze in portions.
