Block Ducts and Mastitis COMMENT The confusing world of raisins Since today's recipe involves raisins, I thought I would use this opportunity to clear up a question that has always plagued me--what is the di� erence between sultana raisins and � ompson seedless raisins? Turning to the internet for my research (probably not the best idea) I visited many sites, and then was more confused than when I started. Don't you just hate it when that hap- pens? I did discover a few things though. Some- times you hear reference to a "seedless rai- sin"-- well aren't they all seedless? Alas, it seems that some raisins are made from seed- less grapes and some are made from grapes that have seeds, but the seeds are removed be- fore the grape is dried. Apparently the � avour is quite di� erent. Which leads me to my next discovery. Golden raisins (which have always been my favorite in terms of � avour-- but I didn't know why until now), are made from muscat grapes that have been seeded and then dried. Howev- er, some golden raisins are actually made from the same grape as dark raisins, but they've been treated with sulfur dioxide to keep them light. Dark raisins are actually made from green grapes, but they darken as they dry and age. Wow-- who knew?! But here's where it gets confusing. Some websites say that sultanas and � ompson raisins are the same thing, oth- ers say that sultanas are bigger, some avoid the question. I think the one that made the most sense to me is that "sultana" is the species of green grape from which all dark raisins are made. "� ompson seedless" is one of several varieties of the sultana. For today's recipe and all the recipes that I can think of, you can use all varieties inter- changeably-- so go get the ones you like most! Have fun and keep cooking!
