Answer
I think it's a great idea, and at 5 months you can definitely start intoducing very plain pureed foods.
At 5 months, my daughter loved mashed bananas (which I did not boil) and avocado (ditto). My wife also did cook some veggies and then puree and put into jars in the fridge (I would use them within 48 hours). Her veggies of choice were squash, carrots, sweet potato and brocolli. Often she would even put a garlic clove in and my daughter ate it up (literally and figuratively)
You can get a food grinder if you like and keep it at the dinner table and grind up small amounts of plain fruits and veggies that come off your plate.
Alternately you can cook some of the firmer fruits and veggies so they are soft enough to be pureed.
Kudos for you for looking out for your baby's health and taking note of what goes into their body!
-----------------------
Don't listen to the dolt who critzicized you for wanting to boil. Some fruits and veggies obviously are not soft enough on their own to be given to a baby.
I would also not wait till they are teething, as some babies take a year to get their teeth, but can take pureed foods well before that.
-------------------------------
Personally I would not add cows milk as some suggested. There's a potential allergy risk at that age, and is nutritionally un-necessary, especially if you're breast feeding.
-------------------------
Sorry "Wismom" but pasturized baby food in glass jars is less healthy than fresh food pureed right before it's eaten. Unless you're referring to organic foods that Gerber makes, pesticide levels would be no different, and of course the question asker could easily buy organic for her purpose. You sound like a rep for Gerber, but either way, lacking your namesake.

How do I make baby food for my 5 month old twins?
Q. I don't want to spend my money on the expensive baby foods in the supermarket. Please help me make my own food.
Answer
Good for you!!!
I loved the book Super Baby Food Diet. It has a guide of what foods can be introduced at what age and then it has recipes that are good all the way into adulthood. Your 5 month olds are probably just starting solids so you want to pick a food to be their first and then wait about 2 weeks before adding anything new. My people recommend started with rice cereal b/c there is almost no chance your children will have an allergy to it (be it is also nutritionally void). You can make your own by just cooking rice and then adding water and pureeing it, but rice cereal is the one thing that I'd suggest buying commecially b/c of the added iron.
Other great 1st baby foods are bananas (wait until it gets ripe and mash with a fork -- add water if you want to thin it out). Avocados (again, wait until it's nice and ripe and mash it up). Sweet potatoes -- cook in the microwave and again, mash it up or throw it in the food processor with some water.
Cooking baby food is SO easy. Again, I highly recommend the book Super Baby Food Diet. It walks you through everything.
