Just a little note – we suggest using fruit from your own backyard mainly because you’ll know if it has been sprayed, excessively cleaned, etc., but there are probably other ways of getting hold of untreated fruit. Perhaps from a neighbour, a family member or a friend who has a lemon or orange tree in their backyard? Fresh, unsprayed grapes are also perfect for the job. And, as we’ve said, organic raisins or sultanas are ideal.

Your interest in sourdough has inspired us – we might write an entry on that soon.

Cheers!
