Question about adding ingredients

[strawberryred]

I've read of some people adding baby food carrots for a good carrot soap, or canned pumpkin,etc.

I'd be worried that it would go bad quickly. Or is it just fine?

I have a baby food maker so I could make fresh purreed carrots, but I was wondering if I'd need the store bought ones because they already have preservatives in them?

As long as it's pureed it is fine...

Welcome StrawberryRed!! As Lindy said make sure what you add is pureed. No chunks- they will mold. Also I limit my food purees to 1 Tbsp PPO (per pound oils). Making your own pureed carrots is fine.

Thanks! Ok, so purees are fine just no chunks. Thanks so much!

Strawberryred I've used as much as 12 oz. of pureed pumpkin in my 5 lb batch with no problems at all, just remember to discount the water for the amount of pureed vegetable your using.

I use about 10% of the total oil weight. My first batch I discounted the water for the amount of pureed veg , the second I just used full water and added the puree at trace as normal.
