Basic Pea Baby Food

I love love love peas...not too many people would say that.  M hated peas, but loved frozen peas (just like his mommy).  This recipe is from the "Baby Love" cookbook by Norah O'Donnell and Chef Geoff Tracy (my baby food bible).  L loved peas, but C was a little unsure...Either way they are super easy to make.

Perfectly Basic Pea
from the "Baby Love" cookbook by Norah O'Donnell and Chef Geoff Tracy

Ingredients:
1 1/2 bags of frozen peas
8oz water

Directions:
Fill pot halfway with water.  Bring to a boil over high heat.  Pour frozen peas in colander and get all ice off.  Pour peas into boiling water and cook for 3 minutes on high heat.  In the meantime get a shock station ready of a bowl of water and tons of ice cubes. 
Once peas are done pour into colander and run cold water over them.  Pour peas into ice bath and let them chill for 3 minutes.  Pour peas into blender (or my machine of choice the food processor) and blend until smooth.
Pour into ice cube trays, wrap and freeze.

*to be honest I had to puree these for a super long time.  I couldn't get a smooth consistency, but in the end I think it worked out.
