I was looking at doing a wine based on the Jalapeno recipe at Jack's
site and it calls for golden raisins. All I've found so far are the
Sunmade 15oz boxes of golden raisins, which the label says are
sulfited. Will the "sulfited" preservative cause an issue with
fermentation, or will it come out of solution along with the campden
tabs? I'm guessing it's basically the same stuff - the raisins were
probably exposed to burning sulfur smoke, I believe. Anyone know for
sure? I'm also guessing that if I buy them in the box like this I'm
going to be paying a premium price per pound, but I don't recall ever
seeing the golden variety in bulk.

They are the same, Jack probably got them from a box too. I would
guess they exposed them to sulfite gas; that is commonly available.
