  22. The wine is for your raisins, if you wish, to plump them.
  23. Make sure they are drained and patted dry before using.
  24. If you don't use the wine this way, you can do what I do and drink it!
  25. The finished tayglach will be sticky and remain this way, as it should.
  26. You can store them in an air-tight container and they will keep nicely for several weeks.
