Pineapple Broccoli Baby Food

Aug 29, 2022Brian Witmer
Recipe yields approximately 6 Cups 

Directions:

  1. Core your pineapple
  2. Add the pineapple to a blender and blend until smooth 
  3. Add broccoli florets to the blender and blend again until smooth.
  4. Line trays with parchment paper
  5. Pour baby food puree onto the tray and spread evenly across the trays
  6. Insert the dividers  (if you choose). You can also just powder after you freeze dry.
  7. Pre-freeze before freeze-drying when possible. 
  8. Freeze Dry (My cycle time in a large freeze dryer with a premier pump was 57 hours for 5 trays of baby food) 
  9. Store in sealed jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage

Rehydration

Add about 4 tbsp of water to 2 cubes from the 40-portion dividers or about ¼ cup of freeze-dried baby food. Stir and enjoy 

Notes: 

These also make great snack bars without rehydrating.
