Raisin paste is always a good match for thinner dough, thumbprint cookies or cinnamon rolls if the dough is thinly rolled and its more of a delicate pastry. The raisin paste is great for Filo, buttery, croissant Doughs.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Raisins
• 1/4 to 2/3 cup Water (enough to cover raisins)
• 1/2 stick Butter
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cinnamon

Directions

• Add the Raisins and water into the saucepan and place on stove
• Bring to a boil and turn down fire.
• Simmer for 10 minutes
• Remove from heat and add the butter, cinnamon and sugar.
• Stir until the sugar dissolves
• Use you spatula to remove everything and place into the food processor.
• Make sure it processes to a smooth texture.
• Take your spatula and remove all the paste into a container with a lid.
• Set in refrigerator until ready to use.

Its better to make the paste a day ahead or even a few days. Remove from refrigerator at least 2 hours prior to use. Must be at room temperature so it spreads evenly like butter. This is awesome on toast in the morning.
