6. That's the point of making your own. Use fresh when it is in season, keep it all winter.

The ingredients in all of our baby food consisted of (whatever fruit/vegetable) and water. No salt. No spice. And DEFINITELY no extra sugar. No anything else at all. And yet they all developed a taste for spices as they grew older. I think that's because breast milk passes on flavors (not sure how that works), but my wife had a few dishes while she was feeding and the girls took a taste and made weird faces like "you expect me to drink that shit?" They drank it anyway. I think that has a lot to do with cultural preferences for various foods.

And those little jars are fucking expensive. An ice cube tray full of home made costs less than a couple of spoons of that processed commercial crap. The ice cube food travels well too. If you put it in a small cooler when you start a road trip it will be about room temperature when you stop to feed the kid. Good shit, Maynard.
