Just thought I'd share this as Ellie has this yesterday and she absolutely loved it - it is much cheaper than baby rice but you have to make it with normal milk because it needs to boil and I don't think you can boil formula or breastmilk...

Ellie had it with apricot and apple - according to Annabel Karmel, the amount I made would do 4 portions but Ellie ate more than half of it in one go!!

2oz dried apricots, 1.5 tbsp semolina, 6oz milk

put the apricots in pan of water, boil for 8 mins...put semolina in a different pan over medium heat and gradually add milk - keep stirring till it boils, stir for 3 mins (simmering), it goes thick - add apricots and puree...I added apple too..

you can freeze it in portions but it may need more milk adding when defrosted

(semolina contains gluten)

Glad she enjoyed it, not sure wot ryan would think, he gagged on ambrosia rice a while back but maybe he'll b ok with semolina now
