Angoor ka Murabba

Sultanas are full of concentrated sweetness. For many years, when sugar was relatively more expensive than it is today, sun-dried grapes i.e. sultanas or raisins took its place in a wide variety of recipes. Now that both sultanas and sugar are readily available, they have been used together to enhance the flavours and texture of this preserve. I have used brown sugar in this recipe which contributes to the colour and honey which adds its own colour and flavour. This sweet preserve will keep well for upto six months when stored refrigerated.
