Pear Sauce

Joshua will be the envy of all babies when he gets his first taste of these sweet pears. I ran to Aldi's tonight for some eggs, $.49/dz, and milk, $2.39/gal, and found that they had pears at $.56/pound. The next best deal I had found was for $.98/lb so this was a great deal. I cooked the first half and will leave the other half for the family to eat whole. I cooked the peeled, sliced pears down until soft and then I removed them from the heat and went at them with my immersion hand mixer. I loaded up all the mini muffin and muffin silicone pans and froze them solid. I find it is easier to fathom making his baby food if I tackle the foods one at a time.

I imagine he will be ready to eat these new foods in the next month or so. He is 4 and half months old now and loving his rice cereal. He doesn't eat it every day yet, but does enjoy it when he gets it. I usually hold out on solid foods longer but he seemed to need something more to hold him out all night long.
