These notes refer to the ingredients in the base recipe. The amount on the plate depends on preparation, portion size and swaps. Variety across the week makes the difference.
Make it work for you.
Use soft apricots or pears. Cook firm fresh fruit until tender and cool before blending, allowing extra time.
Taking it slowly today?
Offer yoghurt and soft peach separately if preferred. A small tasting glass is enough.
Keeping it safely
Prepare fresh. Cover untouched leftovers, refrigerate immediately at 5°C or below and use the same day. Do not keep leftovers from used bowls or glasses.
