I also use the wholesome baby food site @BetsyBoop suggested.</p> <p>I did not cook pears - if the pear is ripe, it doesn't need to be cooked. I just cored, sliced, and pureed.</p> <p>Yes, you can freeze it in cubes, even raw.</p> <p>I did not peel.</p> <p>To be honest, I wasn't sure how the puree would work with out cooking or peeling the pears, but ripe pears are so tender, you don't need to cook them. I just put pear slices in my food processor and I had a very thin pear puree in a minute or two. Super easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-feeding-pears#post-421158 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 09:42:58 +0000 Mrsbells 421158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-feeding-pears#post-421156 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 09:40:06 +0000 betsyboop 421156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a helpful site that breaks down how to prep fruits and veggies for LO's.</p> <p><a href="http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/pearbabyfoodrecipes.htm#.ULdzplGjDw4" rel="nofollow">http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/pearbabyfoodrecipes.htm#.ULdzplGjDw4</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-feeding-pears#post-421153 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 09:38:46 +0000 Lozza 421153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never cooked ours, we'd just peel and puree as is, freeze in ice cube trays, and then dump into a container to send to daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-feeding-pears#post-421032 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 08:36:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 421032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we did bake ours and peel them before turning into "mush". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-feeding-pears#post-421030 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 08:36:31 +0000 lavender 421030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no help but we started to feeding LO jarred pears by Earth's Best and she loved them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-feeding-pears#post-421029 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 08:36:29 +0000 Andrea 421029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Yes<br /> 2. Yes<br /> 3. Yes<br /> 4. I don't remember waiting. We would buy it from the store and then cook, puree, freeze them right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-feeding-pears#post-421025 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 08:34:27 +0000 Mrsbells 421025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to give my LO pears and send some to her daycare. I have a few questions<br /> 1. Do you cook your pears?<br /> 2. Can I puree and freeze it in cubes like apple sauce? Even if its raw?<br /> 3. Do you peel it?<br /> 4. If you cook it, Do you wait for it to get ripe before cooking? </p>
