    Ingredients

    • Raisins - 1 cup
    • Water - 1.5 cups

    Instructions

    • Take 1 cup of raisins Rinse the dry grapes in running water well to get rid of the traces of chemicals if any. Soak the raisins in water for 4-5 hours at least or overnight. Alternatively, you can also soak the raisins in hot water for 30 minutes to one hour.
    • When the raisins are soft enough to mash/grind, transfer to a blender along with soaked water. Grind it to a smooth paste.
    • Transfer the ground raisins mixture to a strainer over a wide bowl. Press it with a spoon to collect the juice as much as possible. Discard the leftover mix or add it while preparing porridge/jam. But make sure to use the leftovers immediately.
    • Boil the raisins water in a saucepan until it becomes thick. Keep the flame low to medium and stir it occasionally to avoid burning at the bottom.

    Homemade Raisin Syrup Recipe for Baby

    Notes :

    • Extract the water slowly by pressing with a spoon so that you get a good amount of water.
    • Adding more water makes the syrup watery, and it takes more time to reach the desired syrup consistency.
    • Soaking time purely depends on the raisins used; some types of dry grapes need more soaking.
    • This raisins syrup becomes little thick after cooling down so switch it off the flame accordingly. Don't over boil.
    • Keep the raisins syrup refrigerated and consume within a month, use a clean, dry spoon every-time while using.
    • Giving this raisins syrup too often makes the baby's tooth sweet. Hence its always recommended using this raisins syrup in moderation.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
