Preserving the Harvest: Raisin Making

Extended Shelf Life: Grapes

One of the greatest joys of returning to our dumpster-diving Laramie life is the promise of home-dried raisins. When we discover grapes in abundance, our favorite thing to do is to wash and prepare them for the dehydrator and letting them go for 3-4 days until they are perfectly dried, juicy and fantastically delicious.

If you have an abundance of grapes and a dehydrator, you will not regret home-drying your own raisins.
