This made me smile

If you could have seen me, my mum and my sis trying to prepare a Butternut Squash for Phoebe!!

For adults you normally cut them in half (down the middle) scoop out the seeds and bake/roast them in the oven.

For Phoebe though I peel it and boil it like you would a swede or something. It's a nightmare and takes ages but Phoebe loves it. Pumpkin etc is similar and maybe easier to prepare.

As for mango I just peel it, stone it and boil it for a couple of mins. Guess you could just puree it without boiling it though. I can't see why not.

Good Luck

With mango I push it through a sieve because it's quite thready. God I can't find the right word, my brain's gone. Um....fiberous, that's it. It's one of Zara's favourites
