Home Made Baby Food- Pears

\At Costco the other day, we saw some delicious looking pears which we decided would make our tummies very happy.
We bought that case of pears for less than $7.  Hubby and daughter ate 1.  What was I going to do with all those pears.  Well, my baby needs to eat too doesn't he?  Into the blender they went.  Washed and seeded of course.  I pureed them into a semi-chunky state and poured them into silicon muffin cups, covered them with plastic wrap, and stuck them in the freezer.  I also filled 3 ice cube trays.

If I were to have bought pear baby food at the store, it would've cost me $0.90 to $1 (Stage 2 size package with 2 "jars" in pack) for the equivalent of 2 muffin cups.  I have about 32 muffin cups of  homemade pear baby food (estimating 2 ice cubes equals 1 muffin cup; muffin cups are not all the way full).
That would've cost me about $16 dollars at the cheapest store (a.k.a Wal-Mart) only cost me $7.  Whoo, Hoo!!

I've been making all of Baby's baby food since day 1 but it's nice to see that I'm actually saving!

Just pop it out of the containers and into a freezer bag, label, and stick in freezer until ready to serve.  It'll last for about 3 months.  I usually microwave for 30 seconds or thaw in fridge if I know early enough what I'm going to serve him.
Simple!
