Oven Dried Grapes

You might hear the phrase, “dried grapes” and immediately think of raisins. “Why would I want to make raisins?” you might ask. Well, let me assure you these are something different. The texture is more like a sun dried tomato, and the flavor is beautifully concentrated. The effort required to make them is minimal, though they will need a few hours of time in your oven. Try using them anywhere you would use raisins; or sundried tomatoes for that matter.

The recipe is this; slice the grapes in half, put them on a baking sheet and bake at 100 C/200F for about 4 hours, or until you like the texture they’ve got. If you want them softer use a hotter oven for less time; chewier use a colder oven for longer.
