Apple, plum and blueberry puree/compote

I know, plums are not in this season. But since the beginning of winter, I could see plums sold in the fruit stores. While I'm usually not keen on using fruits and veggies when not in the season, I thought that my 9 months-old may appreciate a little bit of novelty, after the repetitive (almost boring) apple/pear, apple/banana, apple/pineapple, apple/orange, apple/mandarin, apple/mango compotes and other mix of those fruits. I could have chosen kiwi fruits instead but I've been a bit reluctant at introducing kiwi fruits - probably another (mis)belief related to my background. You kiwi should probably think I'm wrong; especially because it would be cooked anyway!
I prefer to say I am extra-cautious. Anyway, I decided to buy those plums, which by the way were quite sweet and juicy. And I added the blueberries mostly to enhance the colour.
Guess what? Baby dino loves it!
The quantities recommended in the recipe gave me two jars like the one on the picture.


Ingredients (~ 10 servings)

- 1 kg Braeburn apples
- 5 red plums
- 3 tbsp blueberries (can or fresh)

Instructions

1. Peel and slice the apples.
2. Pit and chop the plums.
3. Cook all the fruits together for about 30 mins or until soft.
4. Blend together, let cool down and serve!
