This recipe was demoed at The Culinary Institute of America’s fourth annual Healthy Flavors, Healthy Kids conference in San Antonio. Jeremy West, nutrition service director for the district, says by using raisin products, half of the brown sugar was eliminated. The amount of fiber was also doubled by adding the raisin products.
