How to Plump Raisins in the Microwave

Ingredients:

- Raisins (any variety)

- Water

- Microwave-safe bowl

Instructions:

1. Measure the desired amount of raisins and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.

2. Add just enough water to cover the raisins.

3. Microwave on high for 15 seconds.

4. Stir the raisins and then microwave for another 15 seconds.

5. Continue to microwave in short intervals of 15 seconds, stirring in between, until the raisins are plump and soft.

The total microwave time may vary depending on the quantity and type of raisins. Be careful not to overcook them as they can become tough and chewy.

Once the raisins are plump, remove them from the microwave and drain any excess water. They are now ready to be used in your baking, cooking, or snacking.

Remember to always use caution when working with hot water and microwaving. It is recommended to use oven mitts or handle the bowl carefully to avoid burns.
