I’ve been making this puree for Kenya since he started eating yogurt. I add a tablespoon to his yogurt for breakfast everyday.

Make sure that you buy apricots without sulfur dioxide which can cause allergic reactions. The apricots won’t have that gorgeous bright orange color that most grocery stores carry, but they’re better for baby and just as delicious.
This apricot puree can also be added to savory dishes such as Chicken Tagine with Apricots.
