- 1. Preheat oven to 190C and lightly grease a baking tray or line a baking tray with non-sticking lining.
- 2. Put the raisins into a small saucepan and cover with water. bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. leave to one side.

- 7. Cool on a wire rack.......... try not to eat them when they are still too hot, but they are wonderful warm and fresh out of the oven.
