1. Raisinnoun

   Raisins are the fruit of the vine suffered to remain on the tree till perfectly ripened, and then dried either by the sun or the heat of an oven: grapes of every kind, preserved in this manner, are called raisins, but those dried in the sun are much sweeter and pleasanter than those dried in ovens; they are called jar raisins, from their being imported in earthen jars: the finest are the fruit of the vitis Damascena. John Hill Materia Med.

   Etymology: racemus, Lat. raisin, Fr.

   Dried grapes or raisins, boiled in a convenient proportion of water, make a sweet liquor, which, being betimes distilled, afford an oil and spirit much like the raisins themselves. Boyle.

   FYC event. ( Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP) Jerry Seinfeld KEEPS HOPE ALIVE FOR POSSIBLE SITCOM REVIVAL No, it doesn't interest me. I do a lot of raisin stuff, Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP said. I have a lot of raisin material. Because you know you have the Sun-Maid company, and you have the Raisinet people. The ‘ My Next Guest Needs No Introduction ’ host then asked Seinfeld whether he sides with the Sun-Maid people, according to Complex. I just think that it’s interesting that after 80 years, Sun-Maid finally went,' Hey, why do n’t we put some chocolate on it ?' Imagine not thinking of that for 80 years. So that really gets me excited, that people pay me to talk about those kinds of things.
