Fruity Pumpkin Puree

Ingredients:
1/2 cup pumpkin, peeled and diced
1 apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 ripe banana

Procedure:
1. Steam the pumpkin and apple cubes until tender or place in a saucepan just cover them with water and simmer until done. The pumpkin cubes will take a little longer than the apple, so start those off first.
2. Meanwhile, mash the banana.
3. Drain the pumpkin/apple mixture, if necessary and cool for 10 minutes.
4. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth adding back a little of the cooking water, or a little formula/breastmilk if the texture is too thick.
5. Stir in the mash banana and serve warm.

Tip: You can freeze this, but the banana tend to discolor. Since the banana doesn't require cooking, you can freeze the pumpkin/apple mixture then add the banana freshly mash then serve.
