Recipes to enjoy with EleCare®

Once your child has been settled on EleCare®, your doctor or dietitian may allow certain foods to be introduced into your child’s diet. You might like to try these recipes that were developed by accredited practising dietitians. Remember, as each child’s allergies may vary, it is essential that you consult your doctor and/or dietitian as to the appropriate management of your child’s allergies and the use of these recipes.

As nutrients can be lost when heating, cooking or freezing, it is best to add EleCare® just before serving.

Method:

Pour the juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle with gelatine. When the gelatine is absorbed, place over a medium heat, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 2 minutes.
Cool completely.
Stir in EleCare® and mix well. Rinse 2 small moulds with cold water or spray lightly with rice bran oil spray and pour in the jelly mixture. Refrigerate until set.

Notes:

Use any fruit juice which infant accepts for these jellies. You can also use a combination of juice and fruit purée. Boil the juice with the gelatine and then combine with the fruit purée before cooling and adding EleCare®.
Boiling the gelatine is important as it allows the added sulphur dioxide to evaporate.
