N.B. For optimum shelf life and product quality, the Baker’s Mix must be conditioned. This is achieved by placing the Baker’s Mix in a bucket, and adding water. Blend lightly for a few seconds, and immediately thereafter drain off all of the water. Cover the bucket with a plastic sheet, and allow the raisins to absorb the moisture for ± 4 hours.
