Yummy Yum Puree Carrots!

Well, Aiden does not like green beans at all, so in order to get him to eat them, I will puree some carrots (he loves them!) and mix in when I give him his veggies!  Things you will need:
1 lb of peeled carrots
2 cups of water
pot
blender/food processor
ice cube trays
freezer bags
sharpie
Plastic Wrap
First, take out your carrots (I buy a 2 lb bag, half it and reserve the rest for pot roasts and ect!  I also get the baby carrots that are already peeled, just to make things a bit easier) 

Wash them, then put them in a medium sized pot and fill with enough water to cover them.

Make sure you stir and check the water level to make sure to continue to add water too keep them from scortching.  Cook for 30 minutes on high heat covered.

Put just the carrots into a blender/processor, and add water to thin out to desired puree.  I then just let it set and cool for 5-10 minutes.  Puree!  I use a blender, I have an excellent button that purees great!  So just choose which equipment you would like to use!

Then pour into trays,(I use just a regular spoon and spoon it out twice per cube) and freeze for about 5 hours, pop them out and into a freezer bag!  With a sharpie marker, label it with the date and food!  Good for 6 months!
