1
Peel, core, and chop the pears into uniform pieces (this way they cook evenly).
-
2
Then slice the papayas lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and scoop out the flesh.
-
3
If its ripe enough, you shouldnt have to chop the papaya fruit too much; itll cook just fine.
-
4
Add the chopped fruit (and nutmeg if you so choose) to a medium-sized pot and put in just enough water so you dont cover the fruit.
-
5
Turn on the heat to medium-medium high and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
-
6
You want the fruit soft, but not mush.
-
7
Depending on how ripe your fruit is, it may only take 3-4 minutes, so just keep an eye on it.
-
8
When its the desired consistency, remove the pot from the heat and spoon the fruit into a blender or food processor.
-
9
Add just a little bit of the cooking water to the bottom so itll be smooth (you may need to add a bit more as you go so its not too thick, depending on the age of your baby).
-
10
When done, allow to come to room temperature and spoon into ice cube trays and freeze.
-
11
When completely frozen, remove from the trays and place into a labeled Ziploc baggie and keep in the freezer.
-
12
Simply remove, and put 1-2 cubes in a bowl and microwave till piping hot (1 minute usually does it for me).
-
13
Allow to cool and feed to your baby!
