golden raisin

Light dried grape

Golden raisins are dried grapes that retain a lighter color through treatment with sulfur dioxide and oven drying rather than sun drying.

They tend to be plumper and slightly tangier than dark raisins.

Also called sultanas, especially in British English: The recipe calls for golden raisins and almonds.
