The flavor wasn't quite as intense and it wasn't as thick and goopy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1540129 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:24:00 +0000 autumn865 1540129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made all of DDs purées with the exception of prunes. It just seemed so much more labor intensive than any other steamed fruit of veggie! I bought the premade baby food prune purée. It did the trick :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1540052 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:01:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 1540052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: @autumnlove: Thanks-- I'll look for them next time I go to Target! I make everything, so far (we do BLW so don't do many purees anyway) but it's nice to have something to just keep in the diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1540048 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 13:59:04 +0000 autumnlove 1540048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Plum brand! I buy at BRU, Target or Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1540029 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 13:54:53 +0000 rattles 1540029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I used Plum Organics prunes pouches with DD. I made all the rest of her food, but I had trouble getting the texture right on prunes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1539856 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 12:53:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 1539856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I haven't seen prune pouches (but I only looked twice). Where and what brand did you find them?</p> <p>I'm actually really annoyed- I just bought the fresh dried prunes (like sold in the produce dept instead of the dried fruit section) thinking maybe they were better, and when I went to purée them I found there must have been a pit still in there. Not sure what to do with this batch- can I blend it so the pit is disintegrated? Strain it? Toss it? I'll buy the packaged from now on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1539592 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 11:23:09 +0000 T-Mom 1539592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made Popsicles out of sugar plums when they were in season.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1539586 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 11:19:37 +0000 banana 1539586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @foodnerd81. I buy dried prunes and boil them just for a few minutes and then blend them with some pear pieces to make it smoother. Or I'll blend it with yogurt/milk for a smoothie. I also have a bunch of those baby prune pouches (the ones that are just prunes). Those are good for when we're out and about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1539581 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 11:17:39 +0000 autumnlove 1539581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I think I have a 15 Sunsweets left....I will try it tonight! :) Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1539556 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 11:12:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 1539556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do-- C has constipation issues. I bought regular Sunsweet prunes (near the raisins) and poured boiling water over them and let them sit for a few minutes, then pureed them with a stick blender. I freeze them in a silicone ice cube tray with what is roughly the equivalent of 2 prunes per cube. Then I just pop one cube out and microwave with a touch more water for 20 seconds and stir. </p> <p>I'm out so I think I'm going to get organic ones next time. I have to give a serving at every meal or she strains when she poops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-any-prune-or-plum-purees#post-1539530 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 11:03:47 +0000 autumnlove 1539530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to make a batch since my LO 2 has poop issues! </p> <p>Do you rehydrate dried prunes before you puree them in a food processor/blender, etc? Or did you make fresh plum puree?</p> <p>Do you buy regular bagged prunes from the grocery store or something else? </p>
