Agreed.  I have to forego corn, beets, pineapple, bananas, white bread,
white rice, most pastas, etc for that very reason.  However, the good news
here is that there really aren't that many raisins in relationship to the
whole recipe...and it is used as a condiment!  So yes, we can have at least
limited quantities of it.
