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.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, place prunes, water, and orange juice. Bring to boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Prunes will absorb most of the water, and the remaining water will thicken into a consistency of syrup. If there is a lot of liquid remaining, simmer, uncovered, for a few minutes until sauce reduces.
- Transfer hot prunes and syrup to a bowl. Pour cold milk over the prunes to cover. Eat with a spoon.
- HINT: This remedy should work within 24 hours and can be safely eaten as often and as long as needed.
- 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.
- One cup prunes contains 1274 mg of potassium, which prevents muscle cramps, and 12 grams of fiber to relieve constipation.
DATE AND PRUNE SQUARES
This is a really delicious variation of the old time favourite. I like a lot of filling so I increased the amount of fruit by one cup over the original recipe. You may also use non-dairy margarine to make this, as I did, and it will still turn out fine.

Steps:
- In a covered bowl, let the dates and prunes steep in the boiling water for about 10 minutes, to soften, then transfer to a saucepan.
- Add the sugar and let simmer for about 10 minutes, until thickened.
- Stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg and let cool.
- In a food processor, pulse together the oats, flour, sugar, salt and baking soda until the oats are chopped, 5 to 10 pulses.
- Pulse in the butter until crumbly, then pulse in the cold water until the mixture comes together.
- Press two-thirds into a greased 13" x 9" cake pan and spread with the date mixture.
- Mix the remaining oat mixture with the almonds, if using, and sprinkle over the date mixture, pressing lightly.
- Bake in a 350 degree F oven until light golden, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
