Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the liquid has reduced by half, about 6-8 minutes.  Pour the hot raisins w\/ herbs and liquid over the onions\/shallots in the jar (which will soften when the hot liquid is poured over them).  Let the raisins cool completely, then cover and store in the fridge for a week. Great on grilled cheese, avocado toast, pork, duck, or ice cream (why not?).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suzanne Goin&#8217;s Pickled Raisins &nbsp; 1 small red onion, sliced thin, or 2 large shallots, sliced 2 tsp. yellow mustard seeds 1\/2 C. sugar 1 C. water 3 T.
