Here's a great selection of YouTube videos for starting your baby on solids.
Yes, I agree YouTube can be a bit variable but I have selected the best and most useful. And I have watched all of these!
These are all suitable for 4-6 month old babies.
Leave the mixture to cool, blend till smooth and serve at room temperature. This compote keeps well in the fridge for up to a week. Store it with the split vanilla pod and its flavour will continue to improve over time.
The same method for apples (red ones like pink lady) and nectarines and peaches and plums. Yummo!

Make sure you use a soft plastic or silicone baby spoon to feed the baby. The metal spoon in this video would potentially cut the gums. Apart from that I liked her video!
