Spinach Peppers (10 months plus) Baby food Recipe

This is an excellent iron rich recipe for infants 10 months and up. The Spinach is high in iron, while high vitamin C makes the iron bioavailable. I have not added any salt in the recipe. I have added a tiny amount of red cayenne pepper powder for flavor.
