Hey there! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! I thought I'd just pop on here real quick to let you know I haven't forgotten about blogging, its just been a bit of an adjustment and balancing act with working full time!(woo-hoo!) and having a pretty long commute. The good news is, even with all the time I DON'T have, I still have time to make Avery's food.
She's really into Mango. I don't know where she got that from, I don't think Andy has ever eaten plain mango, and I know I didn't pass on that taste to her!!! :-)
So I started with a pretty mango, pick the ones with the most yellow and red, the green ones need a little more ripening, I've tried bringing them home, and letting them ripen, but they never seemed to ripen at home.
I dug out the fruit from around the pit, but I've since learned how to cut the fruit off around the pit, and then take the peel off.
You don't have to add any water or formula, the fruit is juicy enough, and when you thaw it, it does become a little thin anyway. So........
Just blend away! Make sure to let it go long enough that it's nice and smooth.
Next, to make it easy to pour into the ice trays, I first pour it into a sandwich bag, and to make sure I don't make a mess, I turn the top of the sandwich bag inside out, and prop it in a 2 cup measuring cup.
Then just cut the tip, and pour into ice trays.
Make sure it passes the Meeko test!
Then freeze, and once it's frozen, pop it into freezer bags, and make sure to label them.
