18673 Sweet Potato and Squash Baby Food 20 mins 20 mins 2 1/2 cups Thu Oct 01 04:51:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 07:39:07 -0700 2009 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/18673 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:39:07 GMT Sweet but not too A good introduction to the sweet vegetables, this baby food is a pleasing combination of squash and sweet potato. Sweeter vegetables like squash and sweet potatoes can be introduced into your baby’s diet at around 6 months. Here we combine both in a mild purée that’s a favorite of our associate food editor’s daughter.

Game plan: To reheat the baby food, let it thaw completely in the refrigerator, then heat in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir well before serving.

  • Combine vegetables in a large saucepan and cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer until vegetables are fork tender, about 6 minutes.
  • Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon, reserving cooking liquid, and place in a blender. Add 1 cup of the cooking liquid and blend until mixture is smooth. Let cool slightly, then divide into 1/4-cup portions, place in airtight containers, and refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 6 weeks until ready to use.
