Rhubarb Laxative (Maureen Lipman version)

[DAG]

Cook rhubarb slowly with:

ginger
lemon juice
brown sugar
a few prunes
a dash of cayenne pepper

Good luck! ;D

PS. She claims that she made it for herself once home (after an operation) and then made a load for the rest of the ward and took it in as requested.

I use lots of ginger and lemon juice when I cook rhubarb, usually use white sugar but have used brown now and then. Have never put prunes or cayenne pepper in so I do know now that I have not inadvertently been making a laxative.
