Today we’re making a plum and cinnamon compote.
Plum is the perfect fruit when baby is having minor constipation issues. It’s an excellent natural laxative, and we avoid medication whenever we can!
Cinnamon adds a gentle spicy note that helps introduce baby’s palate to stronger, more intense flavors. Just make sure it stays subtle! A pinch is enough for a lovely baby compote of about 7 oz (200 g).
Here’s what we need for baby’s recipe:
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe plums
- 1 pinch cinnamon
Preparation
Start by washing the plums, preferably organic and locally grown, then cut them in half to remove the pit. Also remove the plum skins.
If they are nice and ripe as desired, there is no need to cut them any smaller; they will soften perfectly during cooking.
Cooking
Place the plums in a saucepan with 1/4 cup mineral water (60 ml), and add the pinch of cinnamon. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Once cooking is finished, all that’s left is to discard the cooking water (unless you’d like to make a plum-cinnamon juice for baby…), then blend the plums that simmered with the cinnamon.
It’s ready! Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving the compote for baby’s afternoon snack.
Enjoy, baby!
