and if someone (who shall remain married if he's lucky) has eaten all the raisins, dried apple dices make an excellent substitute...and using boiled cider for the cider called for didn't do any harm either....good oatmeal cookies! Dried cranberries or apricots, too; and chopped dates are my favorite. Mumpy, the boiled cider must make a wonderfully moist cookie, eh? PJH
