Recently, I introduced “Toddler” section to EasyBabyMeals. Since my baby is officially a toddler, I would as well include my new culinary adventures with her. But don’t worry, there are baby food recipes coming too.

Satisfying a toddler’s tummy is more challenging than I thought. With ever-changing food preference, coming up with something new every day is quite a work.

Today I have shared a recipe for babies 8 months and above. I have cooked apple and cranberries together. And added a little bit of cinnamon powder to it.

Cranberries are usually introduced to babies from the age 8 months onwards. They are on an acidic side, so they are not a good starter food. Cranberries have a very tart flavor, so mixing with some other fruit is advisable, to cut down its tartness at the earlier stage. I like to mix them with any sweet variety of fruit to balance its flavor.

Cranberries are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, manganese, fiber, and copper. They have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits. Cranberries support the immune system as well.

Cranberries are generally harvested between Labour Day and Halloween, so the fresh fruit is the market from October through December. While choosing the fresh ones, look for those which are plump, firm to touch and are deep red in color.

Frozen cranberries are good as well. When not in the season, I use frozen cranberries. Always cook cranberries before serving it to a baby. Raw cranberries should not be fed, especially to babies.

    This looks amazing! When I make this one I will have to mix up a double batch, because I’m pretty sure I’m going to sneak some when she’s not looking.

    This looks so delicious that even I want to make me some! Your photography is wonderful by the way!

    Adding the jQuery Pin It button and putting a description of what the post is on the image will probably do really well for driving your traffic on Pinterest 🙂

    This looks good enough for me to eat! (Seriously) My youngest is 2 and she’s branching out into regular foods. It’s been hard feeding her good healthy things. I think this is a great blog to utilize in my transition. Thanks!

    This looks amazing. I wish I had been more into making home made baby food. This looks so healthy and much tastier than the jar stuff. I will be passing this on to all my soon to be mommy friends!
