How should one store raisins so that they don't harden and clump?

I usually put whatever is left in the box after I open it into either a
container with a tight fitting lid or a ziplock bag. The cardboard boxes
they come in, even the ones with plastic lids, seem to let them dry out
pretty rapidly.

Raisins are SUPPOSED to get hard. . . . after all, they're
nothing but dehydrated grapes. . . . If they get hard, just
"re-hydrate" them over steam, just the same as you would with
any dried fruit.

Mine go in glass jars, always. In the pantry.

I like to heat mine up in water and then use the water for the liquid in my
recipe.

I agree with Barb. I have a great one gallon glass mayo jar with a
tight lid. This will hold approx. 7 pounds of raisins, then I add one
or two cups of good brandy or light rum. They are plump and ready to
use! <G> jane
