Notes

  1. Blender Capacity: Depending on your blender's size, you might need to adjust the number of strawberries you toss in. Feel free to customize the amounts for a small or large batch – it's all in your hands!
  2. Strawberry Prep Hack: Here's a neat trick – wash your strawberries before hulling. This keeps them from turning into little water balloons. Say goodbye to soggy berries!
  3. Sweetness Check: If your strawberries are already ripe and bursting with flavor, you might not need extra sweetness. Give it a taste, and only add sugar if you feel the need. It's your puree, after all – make it as sweet as you like.
  4. Baby-Friendly Version: Planning to serve this to a tiny human? Skip the sugar. Keep it simple and natural for the little ones.
  5. Smooth Texture Option: Seeds not your thing? No worries! If the seeds bug you or your kiddos, run the puree through a fine mesh sieve. Say hello to a silky-smooth texture without the pesky seeds.
