Try tossing the fresh friuts you have bought for her into a blender and pureeing them... put them in a shallow dish and show her where the food is. This is how I wean my babies from 'mom'. They will slowly eat more and more 'mush'... then I thicken the consistancy and add whole chopped fruit to the same dish.
(I use the fresh fruits only... because of the salt & added preserv. in some baby foods.)
My lil'ones dont always eat crickets & mealies right away either. You could try adding a bit of baby cereal or monkey chow (primate food) to the blended mix to add a bit of protein.

Good luck!

oh! I pour the mix into icecube trays and freeze it... no waste. then 'defrost' the cubes & serve...
