Ingredients
  • 2 oz (56 g) senna leaves (health food store)
  • 8 oz (224g) pitted prunes (works out to be about a cup)
  • 8 oz (224g) figs (ensure a moist brand, works out to be about a cup)
  • 2 cups of pitted dates
  • 2 cups of dark raisins
  • 8 cups of boiling water
  • 2 cups of brown sugar - if you like things sweet add this but I didn't and I thought it was fine.

Directions
  1. Pour the boiling over the senna leaves. Let steep 10-15 minutes, then strain the leaves out. Longer is not better.
  2. Put all the ingredients and the senna liquid into a large non-stick pan and cook for about 30 minutes (until soft and liquid is absorbed). Stir often.
  3. Process with blender in small amounts.
  4. Keep in refrigerator.
  5. Start with one tablespoon each morning.
