Post" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Fruit spread recipe for treating constipation Comments: cc: [log in to unmask] 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. -- Gail B.
