Making Plumples!

Today I set out to make plum puree for Colin... but I ended up with something a little bit different after some experimentation.

Here's how my most recent baby food making escapade went down.

First, the plums. Yum! Had to do a taste test first, of course.

I chopped them into smallish pieces, and decided to leave the skin on. Then I transferred them to my ugly well loved Pampered Chef microwave cooker and added a little water.

As I nuked my plums, I remembered I needed to wash some bottles.

And then the microwave beeped. Two minutes was all it took.

They came out looking like this. I tossed them into the blender,

liquid and all.

Oops.... I realized I'd made some lovely plum juice. Too thin. I diced an apple (an Empire, I think, not that it really matters), microwaved it for a couple minutes, and threw it into the mixture too.

You can't really tell from the picture, but the texture was much better with the apple added.

And there you have it. Plumples! Get it? And isn't that a lovely color?

I tasted the finished product, and it's a little bitter. Hopefully Colin won't mind... or if he does, Mommy might have to eat these plumplesicles (ha!) and do some more experimenting.

I'll post the verdict once my little dude has a chance to try my little concoction.

More to come! ♥
