Is tinned fruit ok?

[fizzbuzz]

Want to try dd on pureed peach, but can't buy peaches at the moment. can you use fruit tinned in it's own juice? I'm sure I gave this to ds years ago. Can you freeze it?

Also seem to remember putting dried apricots in water to expand and then pureeing them.

Any advice anyone?

Tinned fruit in it's own juice is fine. I'm not sure whether you'd be able to freeze it or not though.

You can soak dried fruit to rehydrate it, then puree it - I found it pureed easier if I cooked it first.

i freeze pureed tinned fruit all the time. I assume it's okay?!

Sound fine to me! Don't know about freezing it but I can't see that it would be a problem.

My dd used to love peach or apricot puree in her baby rice and later on in Readybrek

I have frozen mushed up tinned fruit and ds has suffered no ill effects and the fruit is ok too!!

Can you use tinned tomatoes as well?

Yes - I always did, anyway!

And what about stuff like tinned tuna, salmon and pilchards? Is all that ok at 6 months?

Just watch the salt content in tinned fish and tomatoes, but as long as you're keeping within the 1g per day limit it's fine (plus obviously observe guidelines for total amount of oily fish in a week).
