Raisins are what a Dehydrator makes from five Grapes, dried overnight into a single bag. They sell for more than the Grapes that go in, but their real fame lies with the Junimos. A bag left in a Junimo Hut gives its Junimos a chance to bring in a double harvest. Two of the Secret Notes hint at this hidden effect. Evelyn loves Raisins as a gift, and most of the valley likes them too.

Making

Grapes come from two places. In Summer they grow wild in the Backwoods and on the Mountain, and smaller numbers turn up near the Bus Stop and along the Railroad. In Fall, Grape Starters planted on the farm climb a trellis and bear fresh fruit every few days.

The Dehydrator takes five Grapes of the same quality. It dries them overnight, and the bag of Raisins is ready the next morning.

Pierre's General Store sells the Dehydrator recipe. Building one calls for Wood, Clay and a Fire Quartz. Choosing the mushroom option for the Farm Cave also places a free Dehydrator inside the cave.

Grapes are the one fruit with a product of their own. Five of any other fruit in the Dehydrator come out as Dried Fruit instead.

These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Prices

A bag of Raisins sells for half as much again as the five normal Grapes it uses. The Artisan profession adds two fifths to that price.

Kegs pay more in total, because every Grape becomes its own bottle of Grape Wine. Five bottles are worth twice the Raisins, but they need five Kegs and a whole week. The Dehydrator finishes overnight with a single machine, so it suits a big haul of wild Grapes from a Summer foraging trip.

Uses

The Wizard sells the Junimo Hut after the Goblin Problem quest, once his Magic Ink is back in the tower. Each morning its Junimos come out and harvest ripe crops around the hut. Placing a bag of Raisins in the hut's storage gives every crop a one-in-five chance of being harvested twice. Both crops come out at the same quality.

The Junimos eat one bag of Raisins each week, though they skip Winter. Several bags can sit in the hut at once and last for weeks. A small sign appears outside the hut while the Raisins are working.

Junimos walk straight through trellis rows, so Grapes can be packed tightly around a hut. Those Grapes then feed the Dehydrator, which makes the next bags of Raisins for the hut.

In the dye pots at 2 Willow Lane, Raisins count as a purple dye.

Gifts

Evelyn loves Raisins, and a bag is one of the best presents for her. Most other villagers like them, including George, Gus, Pam, Robin and the Wizard. Jas, Sebastian and Vincent hate them.

These villagers love receiving Raisins as a gift.

Raisins restore a generous amount of energy for a single snack. That makes spare bags useful food on a long day in the Mines.
