Where did you learn this from, uli? I understood golden sultanas were made from white grapes, which gives them their pale colour. Sulphur dioxide is used however it is a preservative, as opposed to a bleaching agent.

I need to read recipe properly. I went on Facebook to message Cuisine and queried with them about golden sultanas and after waffling for a bit, I checked the recipe and it clearly states golden raisins. Thanks everyone I will now google golden raisins and will look again at supermarkets.

Try Lindtroms in Christchurch, link below. They have a huge range of goods which are high quality and prices are very good. I can recommend their mail order service which is quick and very reliable. http://www.lindstromfoods.co.nz/

From Wikipedia: "Golden raisins" are treated with sulfur dioxide after drying to give them their golden color."
As I understand it the effect of the sulphur dioxide is to retard oxidisation, rather than bleaching.

Yes I am sure you are right there davidt4. I guess the taste will be same if they are blond or dark though.

Pak n save here sells them here, in their bin section, more expensive than normal sultanas, but much nicer and plumper. From Alison's Pantry, I don't know if all P&S stock them tho.
