Cherry Baby Food

Cherry baby food is a fruit-based purée designed for infants transitioning to solid foods. The “junior” texture is slightly coarser than stage-one purées, intended for babies who have developed some chewing ability, typically around 9–12 months.

Cherry cobbler varieties combine cooked cherries with a cereal or grain component, offering a more complex flavour and texture than plain fruit purées. The combination introduces babies to mixed-texture foods while keeping the overall consistency soft and safe.

These products are shelf-stable and ready to serve, making them a convenient option for parents introducing their children to stone fruit flavours.

How it's made

Cherries are washed, pitted, and cooked until soft. They are then combined with a cereal component (such as rice or oat flour) and puréed to a junior-stage texture — smoother than table food but with some body. The mixture is heated to pasteurisation temperature, sealed in jars or pouches, and commercially sterilised to ensure shelf stability without refrigeration.
