Saga #4, The Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes were one of my son's favs. We would buy about 1-2lbs at a time, a small amount goes a long way. Sweet potatoes are very thick and starchy, so quite a bit more water goes into thining these guys out than bananas or apples.
Peel and chop, then steam. We do 1 cup of water for 20 mins in our veggie steamer.
Once steamed, let cool and place in the batch bowl
This one I don't have an exact a amount of water to use, start with a cup, and work from there.
Puree. Add more water if it is extra thick, then puree again.
Place in containers, and freeze. Like most of the other foods, sweet potatoes are good in the freezer for about a month, don't forget to label!
Cost analysis-
2lbs of sweet potatoes- Approx. $2.50
2lbs of Sweet Potatoes makes about 45oz of baby food, depending on the consistancy
45oz of store bought baby food - $7.28
