These sounds wonderfully sweet. Question: What is raisin juice? Is it the liquid the raisins were cooked in?


Raisin juice is the water left after cooking the raisins. Adds the flavor. This recipe sounds real sweet in this day and age. I don't remember them to be that sweet, but if you have ideas to cut the sugar please share.


I have had these. My grandmother called them, paddy cookies,lol. They are delicious and I don't think they are too sweet.
