Wash and peel 14 carrots and cut into equal size pieces. (Or open a bag of baby carrots)
In a saucepan cover carrots with water
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer
Cook carrots until they are soft and fork tender (about 30 minutes)
Add carrots and remaining water to a food processer or blender and puree
If the consistency is too thick pour in some breast milk or formula to thin it down
If consistency is too thin you can thicken with rice cereal
Pour carrots in icecube trays * Tap the trays on the counter to get air bubbles out *
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze
Once food is frozen, pop the food cubes out of the tray * run cold water on bottom of trays to loosen cubes *
Put cubes in plastic baggies to store in freezer
* Don't forget to label the bags and date *
To serve:
Place in microwave safe bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir and heat again for 30 seconds or until lukewarm.
4 Cubes equals 1 serving
Makes 4 servings
