INGREDIENTS

1 cob of sweet corn, husks removed

1 sweet 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.

2. Add the sweet potato chunks to the pan, bring back to the boil, then reduce heat to medium/low and boil gently for about 10 minutes, until the 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. Put the corn kernels and the sweet potato into a small/medium bowl and use a stick blender to make a smooth puree – adding a little water to get the right consistency, or use fresh breast milk or formula milk for a creamier consistency.
