Kid Friendly Khushaaf (No Sugar)

"My mom used to make this. It's similar to dried fruit soaked in sugar water called Khushaaf. Only no sugar water here just juice. These are great for 1 year old's and above because it plumps up the raisins and makes them juicy and easy to eat. When you're done just drink the juice or mix it with water for your toddler. You can also top these on yogurt or oatmeal or your favorite dish. Great for baking too!"

  1. My DH used to tell me about soaking dried fruit to make refreshments.I tried it with water,but I plan to do the juice version too.I made one with sour cherry (which DDs preffered) and one with sour plums,which turned into a soda.The water soaked up the flavor from the sour cherries,but the plums' was there and my one-and-half year old DD really liked them.These can be frozen and enjoyed as popsicle.I really enjoyed them at the beggining of my second pregnancy,sour and salty.Probably that's why my DD likes them now.
     
  2. My third grader sister was doing a project on Eygpt and I made this for her class.. super easy but had rave reviews.. A real kid pleaser!
     
  3. This is a very easy and tasty recipe. I've been plumping my raisins this way for ages. Other juices and different dried fruits work equally well; lemon juice with currants or apricots is very good, too. Heating up the liquid and then steeping the dried fruit hastens the process. The plumped fruits are very nice in baked goods, as well. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Jamilah!
     
  4. DD actually didnt like these which is surprising because she loves juice of which I used orange and she loves raisins! They plumped up nicely overnight and do taste good. They would be good on oatmeal I think if you like raisins on yours. Maybe even try on vanilla ice cream? This dish was new to me. I know some recipes call to do such before adding to the rest of the ingredients. Made for Ramadan Tag.

I found Zaar after I got married and it's been such a lifesaver and so much fun. I enjoy the games and DH and DS enjoy the food!I usually work as a surgical tech but since my son was born I moved into my new profession as a stay at home mom. It's a nice change I've been enjoying it and it gives me more time to COOK! I like to share recipes that I enjoy or have eaten at some of my fav places. I'm a San Diegan currently living in New York with my Husband and our 15month old Son. <a href="http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m276/ribosomal/?action=view¤t=sammyzaar1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m276/ribosomal/sammyzaar1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m276/ribosomal/?action=view¤t=tootah205websmall.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m276/ribosomal/tootah205websmall.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://www.commenthaven.com/glitter-text-generator"><img src="http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/198/z4aafc3566855b.gif" alt="Glitter Text Generator" width="327" height="67" border="0" /></a> When I first came to zaar I recipe selected mostly 4 and 5 rated recipes but now after playing several games and seeing the different ways people review. I realize so many recipes miss a good chance. So now I just go by ingredients or a good idea and choose my recipes based on that. I've been lucky enough to grow up eating a variety of cuisines from various cultures and have eaten at some really great restaurants from hole in the wall to 5star. So I let my palate do the choosing and so far I've had pretty good luck picking recipes. I don't generally rate recipes by cooking time or exact measurement of ingredients unless it's a baking recipe or the temp and time were just way off. I also won't give a bad rating because of my lack of ingredients or skill. I don't measure when I cook unless it's baking. I give the recipe a good read and eyeball the amounts. This works for me. I know everyone has different tastes and I will be hard pressed to give a rating of 3 unless it just really didn't work for me. I don't see any reason to hurt anyone's feelings when I can just give a detailed review of my changes or no rating instead.
