How to prepare it

Blend it, then push it through a fine sieve and discard the seeds. Use the smooth purée only.

Where hospitals differ

Berries are on the avoid list of the leaflet this book follows, because of their seeds. A sieved purée is smooth juice, which the leaflet allows. Some hospitals would still say to leave berries out.
