This is a super simple, easy, and delicious way to help a new mama poo! Stewed fruit is delicious with a dollop of yogurt or scoop of ghee on top, served over molasses congee, or on it's own. The cinnamon helps ignite digestive fire, and cooking it all well helps hydrate and break down the fruit so that it is easily digested. Postpartum Stewed Fruit
