Ingredients
Steps
Wash, peel, core, and dice the apple and Fuyu persimmon into small chunks, making sure to remove any hidden seeds.
Place the fruit chunks into a steamer basket set over boiling water. Steam for 7 to 10 minutes until the fruit is very soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Transfer the steamed fruit to a blender or a mixing bowl. Add the cinnamon (if using) and the water, breastmilk, or formula.
Blend or mash thoroughly until it reaches a smooth, velvety consistency. Let it cool completely before serving to your baby.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a Hachiya persimmon instead of Fuyu?
Yes, but Hachiya persimmons must be fully ripe and extremely soft (custard-like) before eating to avoid an astringent, dry taste. Fuyu is firmer and easier to peel and steam.
How long does this fruit compote last?
You can store this puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze it in an ice cube tray for up to 2 months.
