Spicy Pickled Raisins are a perfect accompaniment to any roast game or even veal or pork tenderloin. I served it with Confit of Duck. It was the perfect sweet, sour and spicy pairing with the rich and delicious duck.

Tips
Golden raisins in Canada are truly golden, golden raisins in the US are brown. I have used both kinds and have served both versions with Confit of Duck. I rather like the Canadian gold, but the American gold tastes just as good.

Instructions
  1. Gather all ingredients before starting the recipe.
  2. Measure 1 cup of water plus the other pickling ingredients, except the raisins, and add to a medium sauce pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and stir until the sugar has totally melted.
  3. Mix in the raisins and remove from heat, cover with a lid, and allow to stand for at least one hour. This can be made several days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
