1 small potato, peeled and cut into chunks

Water (or fresh breast milk or formula milk)

METHOD

1. Half fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and bring to the boil, then put in the corn cob, carrot, sweet potato and potato.

2. Reduce the heat to medium/low and boil gently for about 10 minutes, until the corn cob and vegetables are soft (test with the point of a sharp knife).

3. Drain off the water then remove the corn cob from the pan and allow it to cool.

4. Put the cob on a board and hold it with a fork while using a sharp knife to cut the kernels from the core.

5. Place all the vegetables into a small/medium bowl and use a stick blender to make a smooth puree – adding fresh water to get the desired consistency, or breast milk or formula milk for a creamier consistency.
