Why you should make your baby's food - Suite101.com gives some instructions: When the food is softened, transfer to the appliance of your choice. I have used a blender and a food processor with success both times. Add a little bit (1-2 tbs at a time) of the liquid of your choice, and puree. The consistency should be smooth -- like the food you see in the baby food jars at the grocery stores! Serve immediately, or freeze in individual servings. To do this, transfer the puree to an ice cube tray (each cube should be a generous tablespoon). Wrap in freezer wrap and freeze. Then pop the food out of the ice cube tray and place in a freezer bag with a use-by date (you can freeze them for up to three months, but if you used formula or breastmilk, only freeze for six weeks).
