2. Turn on stove to a medium fire and add carrots to the water. Bring water to a boil, or wait until the carrots are tender all the way through, and turn off stove.

3. Remove carrots from water, and put the carrots in the food processor, add a little butter (OPTIONAL), allow the butter to melt. Blend carrots to the desired consistency, and feed to baby

on 5/5/2009 Making baby food is so easy and look at the money you will save, not to mention how healthy it is. Personally I don't think it is a good idea to add butter until they are older. Thanks the the nice article.
