For a richer flavor, try roasting the carrots and pears before pureeing. Toss with a little olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or frozen for longer storage. Experiment with different spices! Ginger, cardamom, or even a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper can add interesting layers of flavor. For babies, omit the sugar or maple syrup entirely. The natural sweetness of the carrots and pears should be sufficient.
