Sultana

Sultanas are a variety of sundried grape, used in cooking especially in Australia and Great Britain. They are smaller than raisins and larger than currants, and they can be eaten as-is or used in baking. For some recipes, they are soaked in a liquid (fruit juice, alcohol, or water), making them plump, tender and juicy.
