Hi.
In yesterday's PD Digest, someone asked about a recipe for easing
constipation. Some time ago, I saved a recipe that had been posted here
(by an RN based in Honolulu, as I recall) that addressed that same
problem, and so I'm taking the liberty of herewith posting that same
recipe (Note: I did not originate this recipe and take no credit for it;
I would be pleased if the originator would like to take credit for it and
to add any updates, if any, to it).
*** Anti-Constipation Fruit Spread ***
1 lb pitted prunes
1 lb raisins
3-4 oz pkg of Senna tea
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup lemon juice
Prepare tea with 3-1/2 cups of boiling water. Steep 5 minutes. Strain to
remove leaves etcetera. ONLY 2 cups of tea to large pot.
Add fruit to the tea, and boil together 5 minutes. Remove from heat;
add sugar and lemon juice. Use food processor or blender to blend to a
smooth paste.
Place the blend in plastic or glass containers. Put in freezer -- the
blend does not freeze and will keep for a long time.
Use 1-2 times daily on crackers or toast.
