Okay, so we’ve got prune juice, which is available pretty much anywhere, plum juice which I don’t think I’ve ever seen on supermarket shelves, but I’ve heard of it and read about it.
And we have grape juice, made, i assume like any other juice. Whole, ripe fruits are pressed and strained. I have never heard of raisin juice, though. Neither in print nor on the Internet nor on tv. I’ve never seen it mentioned in recipes or on daytime cooking shows, never heard of celeb docs touting its health benefits, Why is there no raisin juice?
This question, as I’m sure y’all are aware, is three-to-one tongue in cheek. But doesn’t it make you wonder a bit? Like driving on parkways and parking on driveways? A light-hearted question, if it makes you chuckle, we all win. If it makes you curious - makes you go “hmmm” - it’s still win-win. If we debate the merits and drawbacks of grape juice versus an assumed “raisin juice,” then we all still win.
And I admit, I’ve never even googled “raisin juice,” so I have nothing to back up my previous statement. Mea culpa. I’ll apologize for it, but I’m not gonna google it. Yet.
(I’m about three sheets to the wind right now. OTC cough med (combo expectorant and anti-tussive), a few vodka cocktails, and a few tokes of the now legal - at least here in Sin City - flower (well, bud, anyway, but the dispensaries call the product “flower). The latter makes me egregiously loquacious, as evidenced by the phrase “egregiously loquacious.” Okay, maybe four sheets to the wind. “Nothing to see here folks, scroll along!” And please don’t judge. Mark and both use it medicinally. Usually.
