Recipe source
Dose: 1–2 tablespoons per day
1 pound prunes
4 ounces senna tea leaves
1 pound raisins, pitted
1 cup brown sugar
1 pound figs
1 cup lemon juice
1. Prepare tea. Use about 2 1/2 cups boiled water added to tea and steep five minutes.
2. Strain tea to remove tea leaves, add only one pint of tea to a large pot, and then add fruit.
3. Boil fruit and tea for five minutes.
4. Remove from heat and add sugar and lemon juice. Allow to cool.
5. Use hand mixer or food processor to stir fruit mixture into smooth paste.
6. Place in plastic container and place in freezer (paste will not harden).
7. Spoon out what you require each day.
Enjoy eating fruit paste straight off the spoon. Spread it on toast, or add hot water and make a drink.
If the fruit paste is not working (no bowel movements), then increase the amount of fruit paste each day.
If the fruit paste induces very loose stools, cut down on the amount of fruit paste intake. Consider taking it every other day.
Suggestions for use: Can be spread on toast, english muffin, bagel, bran muffin or rice cake. Good breakfast. lunch, or snack: toasted bagel or english muffin, spread with low fat cream cheese or goat cheese and topped with fruit paste. For a change of flavor mix in some raspberry or strawberry jam.
