Ingredients

  • Cooking-oil spray
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

    In a medium saucepan, bring raisins and 3 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter, and let sit until butter melts.
