HOW TO STORE SWEET POTATO PUREE

Refrigerator

You can store this puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezer

This puree can be frozen for up to 4 months.

• Spoon the puree into a freezer storage container (this is my favorite freezer storage container). Do not overfill.
• Place the lid on the storage container or cover with a piece of saran wrap — label with the date and recipe name.
• Place the tray into the freezer and let it freeze completely — preferably overnight.
• Pop-out the baby food cubes and place them in a zip-lock baggie or stasher bag. Don’t forget to relabel the baggie or stager bag for future reference.
