Method

  1. 01

    Pit 4–5 dried prunes and soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes to rehydrate. Peel, core, and chop 1 ripe pear into small pieces.

  2. 02

    Steam the pear pieces in a steamer basket over boiling water for 8–10 minutes until very tender.

  3. 03

    Drain the prunes and reserve soaking water. Combine prunes and steamed pear in a blender. Blend until smooth, using a little prune soaking water to adjust consistency.

  4. 04

    Cool before serving. This blend has natural laxative properties.
