Puree using the leftover cooking liquid. You may need to mix in another fruit as plum purée has a tendency to be rather tart and/or bitter
Reply:don't cook them. just peel, cut into pieces %26amp; place in the blender or food processor. add a little liquid %26amp; puree to desired texture. you can use apple juice, peach nectar (keep couple cans in pantry, it's handy if you don't have any fresh juice around). don't use water (you lose flavor) %26amp; orange juice is usually too acidic for little ones.
