Ingredients:
Foxy Vegetables
Foxy Fruits Chicken or other meat (optional)
Cooking Instructions:
Wash and rinse your hands and equipment thoroughly. Babies are
especially susceptible to
germs, and you don’t want any to get in your food. Prepare
Foxy Fresh Vegetables, or fresh fruits,
by scrubbing, peeling, and removing pits or seeds. Remove all
bones, skin, gristle, and fat from
meats. Do not use leftovers to make baby food. Cook food in a
small amount of water until tender.
Vegetables and fruit retain more vitamins if they are steamed
or baked. Do not add salt or
seasonings. Babies can dehydrate quickly with added salt and
may not eat food with
seasonings. Do not add sugar, honey, or any other form of
sweetener other than 100% fruit juice.
Sugar can also dehydrate a baby. Besides, babies like fruits
and other foods just the way they are.
Puree or mash cooked food. Do not let baby food sit at room
temperature for more than two hours.
Harmful bacteria in the food grow very well if given a chance.
Refrigerate or freeze baby food
as soon as possible.
Serving Suggestions:
One to three extra servings (use within two days) of your
prepared baby food can be stored in
the refrigerator. Use cooked Foxy Fresh Vegetables or cooked
fruit within three days. Meats and
raw fruit should be used the next day. To store longer than
two days, freeze the prepared foods in
clean ice cube trays covered with plastic wrap. After the food
is frozen, put the cubes in freezer
bags. Seal tightly, be sure to label what it is and the day
you cooked it. Store up to 3 months.
To serve, thaw in the refrigerator and heat or heat in a
small dish or custard cup set in a pan of
water. Do not heat the food too much. Microwaves can heat a
food unevenly, form hot spots,
and destroy vitamins. One spoonful of food may be cold, yet
the next spoonful could burn your
baby's mouth. Always stir the food well before feeding your
baby.
