Plump or Rehydrate Dried Fruit

Raisins and dried fruit are plumped before using in a batter or dough. It provides the moisture that it needs during baking, otherwise it will take water from the recipe. Clumped together or hard raisins can be fixed by rehydrating them.

To do:

1. Measure and place fruit in a heatproof bowl. If fruit sticks together, separate them.

2. Boil enough water, in a saucepan over high heat. 

3. Pour water into the bowl. Make sure fruit is covered entirely with water.

4. Stir once and then let stand for five minutes. 

5. Drain in a colander, separating the raisins with your fingers if necessary, until the water pretty much stops dripping. If really moist, then also drain on paper towels.

6. Use immediately.
