These raisins are made from grapes are called Autumn Royal Seedless, and I picked them up at my farmer’s market. You can buy their sun dried raisins there as well, but I wanted to try to dehydrate them myself. They taste amazing, not like raisins, but like grape candy. This would be a very healthy alternative to candy for Halloween. I found a lot of recipes online that said to boil the grapes first, but I wanted to try to make them raw the first time. I will attempt to boil them in the future, apparently it makes the grape skin crack which reduces the amount of time spent in the dehydrator. I left them in the dehydrator for six days, before I felt that they were dry enough.
