To purée means to mash or strain a soft or cooked food until it has a smooth consistency. This can be done with a food processor, sieve, blender or food mill. For best results, the food must be naturally soft, such as raspberries or ripe pears, or cooked until it is completely tender. Puréed
foods are used as sauces and as ingredients in other sweet or savory dishes.
The term also refers to the foods that result from the process.
