How can I use California Raisins?
California Raisins are so versatile you can use them whole, chopped, pulped or as a paste. Here are a few tips that can help with the handling of California Raisins.
CHOPPING
If chopped raisins are required for recipes the best way to do this is to use a sharp knife and oil the blade to prevent sticking, just mind your fingers!
MARINADING
To add a little kick to your dishes, why not try marinading raisins. Soak them overnight in coffee, fruit juice or alcohol, for a deliciously different taste.
PLUMPING
To make raisins look extra juicy you can 'plump' them, this is easily done by just covering them in hot water and soaking for 2-5 minutes.
Think Raisins, Think California
