Fruit and Bran Balls

(for constipation)

1 cup dried, pitted prunes
1 cup seedless raisins
1 cup dried black figs
2 teaspoons wheat bran

Mix fruits in a bowl, then put through a food grinder twice (add a little boiling water if the ingredients stick). Form the mixture into walnut-size balls; roll in wheat germ, and store in the refrigerator.

NOTE: Be sure to drink plenty of water with this laxative or it may have an opposite effect to the one desired.
