    Question What to do with blueberry and apple puree??

    Hi all,
    I made up a batch of puree'd stewed apple and blueberry for ds, then discovered he shouldn't be eating berries at this age So it's sitting in my freezer. I'd love to bake something with it... but what? Any suggestions?

    Apple, blueberry and cinnamon muffins - Niliac posted a great apple muffin recipe once that I've made into apple and blueberry before.
    *scuttles off to find it*

    Just use apple and blueberry puree where it says apple (I always use a tiny bit more than the recipe calls for)
    I've also chopped up walnut and made it into and apple and walnut loaf.

    I'd be heating it up and eating it straight myself You could do little filos with the puree inside, like danishes.

    Never heard of not being able to have berries? But anyway my DH just cooks some squares of puff pastry and heats the puree and then puts in right on top. It is really good and also easy.

    Kryslass- I didn't know either until another BB member informed me- no berries until 12 months, as they are highly allergenic. Wish I'd known that before I gave him strawberries- oops.

    I made some Blueberry and Cream Cheese Muffins yesterday for my daugher's b'day party - went down a treat. I used fresh blueberries and blueberry jam, but I'm sure you could use the puree.

    • 2 1/4 cups self-raising flour, sifted
    • 1/2 cup caster sugar
    • 100g butter, melted, cooled
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 150g fresh or frozen blueberries
    • 60g cream cheese, cut into 12 cubes
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons blueberry jam
    Method
    1. Preheat oven to 200?C. Lightly grease a 12-hole 1/2-cup capacity muffin pan.
    2. Combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre.
    3. Whisk butter, milk, egg and vanilla in a jug. Pour into well. Add blueberries and gently fold until just combined. Half fill muffin holes with mixture. Top each muffin with a cream cheese cube and 1/2 teaspoon jam and cover with remaining mixture.
    4. Bake muffins for 15 to 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the top half of muffins comes out clean. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Turn muffins onto a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
    Makes 12

    How about folding it through some icecream? Or yoghurt?
