**Sweet Potato and Carrot Puree: A Nutritious and Delicious Treat for Babies and Toddlers**
Sweet potato and carrot puree is a classic baby food that is both nutritious and delicious. This puree is a great source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as fiber and potassium. It is also a good source of beta-carotene, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. This puree is easy to digest and is a great way to introduce new foods to your baby. This article provides three different recipes for sweet potato and carrot puree, each with a unique flavor profile. The first recipe is a simple puree made with just sweet potatoes and carrots. The second recipe adds a touch of sweetness with the addition of applesauce. The third recipe is a savory puree made with the addition of herbs and spices. All three recipes are easy to make and can be tailored to your baby's individual taste preferences.
CARROT AND POTATO PUREE
Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a pot large enough to also accommodate the carrots. Add enough water to cover the vegetables by 2 inches, sprinkle generously with salt, and bring to a boil. When the water has been boiling about 10 minutes, add the carrots and cook until both vegetables are "fork tender". Drain.
- Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Meanwhile, pass the carrots and potatoes through a food mill into a large bowl. Add about one-quarter of the hot cream and 2 pats of the butter, stirring vigorously until thoroughly combined. Repeat this process until all of the remaining cream and butter have been incorporated. Taste for seasoning (you will probably have to add salt).
- Serve immediately in a warm serving bowl or keep warm until ready to use.
SWEET POTATO & CARROT PUREE
This tastes a lot like sweet potato casserole. I think it is great, but some of my family prefers the recipes with just sweet potatoes. I'd love to hear what you think. This can be prepared a day in advance. To reheat, put puree in a pot and heat on low, stirring occasionally.
