Instructions: Arrange carrots on a steamer rack in a large pan over 1 inch of water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Steam until tender, about 12 minutes. Plunge carrots into cold water to stop the cooking.

Pulse in a food processor, or pass though a food mill fitted with the medium disk. Add formula, breast milk, or boiled and cooled water as needed. Fill 1/4-cup plastic containers or ice-cube trays with puree.

This recipe yields 3 cups or 30 cubes.

Comments: Remember to start with silky, smooth purees. You can work up to thicker textures as the baby gets older. If the puree is too thick, you can loosen it with breast milk, formula, or boiled water.

Yield: 3 cups
