golden raisins

Light dried grapes

Golden raisins are dried grapes treated with sulfur dioxide to preserve their light color, as opposed to the darker raisins that result from natural sun-drying.

They tend to be plumper and slightly tangier than their dark counterparts: The recipe calls for golden raisins, but you can substitute regular ones.
