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. --
