Answer 2

I used ice trays as well, because I didn't have to use a preservative agent to make sure the food didn't go bad. If you're canning, it's going to cost a lot in supplies, and it's going to take a LOT of time... and frankly, they don't USE babyfood all that long, so it seems like it'd be more of a bother than anything else!

I just bought frozen or fresh veggies, steamed them, put them through the babyfood maker (blender or food processer would work, too), then spooned them by the tablespoon full into plastic ice trays. 1/2 hour later they were frozen, into serving sizes I could track... I'd plop them into a zip-lock freezer bag and then we were set.

I probably did two or three batches of peas and carrots before my kids were just eating what we were eating... other veggies I did less... like beets and squash. They didn't like them as much, so we didn't use as much. By the time they'd made their way through those bags of frozen food cubes, they were eating everything we were eating... and I actually ended up throwing some of the homemade babyfood cubes away!

Melissa beat me to the punch. NO need for jars - an ice cube tray works. Or I also just cooked a wee bit of extra food and mushed it up real good for my boy when meal time came around. I would refrigerate the leftovers and feed it to him over the next day or two.

Answer 4

You should NOT use leftover baby food jars. Those jars are NOT meant for freezing! Glass has to be manufactured specifically to withstand freezing temperatures in order for it to be safe.

Yeah, some people do use old baby food jars but why take the risk?

Answer 5

Take a portion of the food you eat and puree that and put them into boiled jars after they've been washed out and cooled off. I would keep them in the refrigerator up to 3 days. How old is your child?

Answer 6

I used ice cube trays also.. then when it was frozen I just popped it out of the trays and stuck it into a ziplock baggie. When you are ready to use it just take a cube or 2 out and microwave it or set it in the fridge to thaw. Depends on how you want to do it.

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 7

I froze it in ice cube trays, and then took it out and put it a baby jar and defrosted it.

Answer 8

You have to find new covers to seal them try jelly jar lids
you can find then in most grocery stores where they have
