This simmered puree is a simple and easy way to make a yummy raspberry puree for your baby. While simmering, some of the raspberry’s natural water content evaporates, leaving a thicker and sweeter puree. This is helpful because if you blend raspberries into a puree, the puree will be thinner. You can also easily use frozen raspberries for this puree.
