Carrots for Baby

1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

Arrange carrots on a steamer rack in a large pan over 1 inch of water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Steam until tender, about 12 minutes.

Plunge carrots into cold water to stop the cooking. Pulse in a food processor, or pass though a food mill fitted with the medium disk. Add formula, breast milk, or boiled and cooled water as needed.

Fill 1/4-cup plastic containers or ice-cube trays with purée.
