Baked Pears Baby Food Recipe

Pears are a great first food for baby and baking them brings out their tasty flavor.

Nutrient dense and easy to prepare, pears also help relieve or keep constipation at bay.  While pears may be soft and juicy raw and the skin may be blended easily, it is recommended that you cook and peel fruits for babies who are just starting solid foods.

You may add baby cereal to the pear puree if it is too watery.
