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.
STEWED PRUNES RECIPE
Stewed prunes are so delicious. Cooking softens them, and they end up swimming in the most delicious syrup.

Steps:
- Place the prunes in a small saucepan.
- Add the water, vanilla, and cinnamon. Gently stir.
- Bring to a boil (this will likely take about 5 minutes). Gently stir again, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, until the prunes are soft and swimming in syrup.
- Transfer the stewed prunes to a heat-proof glass storage container. Cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the syrup to thicken and flavors to develop. Serve alone as dessert, or spoon on top of plain Greek yogurt.

STEWED PRUNES
I have eaten prunes this way as long as I can remember in my family. My grandmother made stewed prunes this way, my mother did, and I do too. Simple and delicious and taste so nice. Enjoy on their own, or on your breakfast cereal, or with ice cream, or mixed with other fruit.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients into a medium saucepan. Cover. Bring to the boil, give a stir or 2 and then turn the heat down and simmer covered for 15 minutes. At the end of the 15 minute cooking time turn the heat off and leave on the stove for 10 minutes. Pour into a dish large enough to contain the contents of the saucepan. Cool. When cool, cover (so nothing in the fridge falls into or spills into the dish), and put in the fridge. Eat!

SIMPLE STEWED PRUNES
This recipe is so simple I hate to post it however there isn't one on Recipezaar even close so here goes. I have posted 1 cup of water however if your prunes are large you want to have the water at least 1/4" above the prunes. I don't use sugar but it may be added.
