raisins. Rinse quickly in hot
water and drain well. Add one-fourth cup cold water, let stand one or
two hours, then simmer, covered, until raisins begin to plump. Add one
tablespoonful of Tarragon vinegar and simmer until vinegar is absorbed.
Remove from fire, place tea towel under cover to absorb moisture and let
stand until cold. These raisins are used as garnish or component part of
salads.
