I made this baby food about a month ago. I really lost my passion for making baby food when I had difficulty getting Sarah to eat any food. Fortunately for us, her teachers are very experienced with children who do not want to eat. I thought if she would eat anything, she would eat commercially prepared baby food so I bought some Earth's Best and Gerber Organics to get her started.
Today, I thought I would try her on what I made last month. I took out a cube that I had frozen in my Beaba freezer tray. Then, I put the cube in my small All-Clad skillet on low and heated it, while stirring, until it had all melted. She ate it so I may go back to baby food making.
To make baby food from sweet potatoes, Scott actually baked them. He put them in the oven on 400 degrees for about 1 hour. After they cooled, I scraped the flesh from the skins and put it in our Cuisinart. I had to add a lot of water to get it thin enough for a first food and thin enough to be about the same consistency of commercially prepared baby food.
What I really like a bout sweet potatoes is that very soon I will feel comfortable giving them to her without processing them with anything but a fork. No additives like water will be needed. I used two types of sweet potatoes that we bought at the local farmer's market. One is yellow and the other one is more orange.
