Directions
My Grandma’s Natural Remedy for Constipation (Stewed Prunes),My sweet grandma used stewed prunes as a natural laxative, but my mom likes to eat them as a simple and healthy dessert because slow simmering softens and thickens dried plums into a sweet syrupy goodness. Healthier than taking Ex-lax.,my father’s great grandmother used to make something like this with prunes and orange juice and he said about twice a year when he would be at great grandma’s house and his stomach was hurting really bad she would get some of her home-made dried plums (prunes) and stew em up and make em eat them, he also said he used to hate the way they tasted but after they fixed you up you wouldn’t be complaining but he didnt like plums so the flavor thing makes since. it its some what old fashion but it DEFINITELY works well,This recipe was good, however, I let them cook for 45-1 hr to thicken. It helped with my husbands constipation and I enjoyed a few as well! Milk was not used.

Note: If You Do not Have Constipation and Just Like the Taste of Stewed Prunes, You May Add 1/8 Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon to the Prunes Mixture Before Cooking (cinnamon, Oranges, and Prunes Pair Well Together.) However, Do not Add the Cinnamon If You Are Using This For Constipation Because Cinnamon Is Used as a Natural Cure For Diarrhea and Will Have the Opposite Effect of a Laxative. |
