I am enclosing a recipe that my mother makes for my dad who has PD for
constipation. My mom says it is tasty as did a rehab doctor she shared
it with. I know that constipation is an ongoing problem and this seems
like a good solution. Hope it works for those who need it.
Fruit Spread
1 lb pitted prunes
1 lb raisins
3-4 oz pkg of Senna tea
1 c brown sugar
1 c lemon juice
Prepare tea with 3-1/2 c boiling water ans steep 5 min. Strain to remove
leaves and all ONLY 2 c tea to large pot. Add fruit and boil together 5
min. Remove from heat and add sugar and lemon juice. Use food processor
or blender to blend to a smooth paste. Place in plastic or glass
containers and freez. It does not freeze and keeps for a long time.
Use 1-2 T daily on crackers or toast.
