In 1918, Sun-Maid opened a new facility near downtown Fresno, California, which was recognized at the time as the “finest factory building this side of Detroit.” 1915 1923 1956 1970 Founded in 1912, Sun-Maid GrowerS oF CaliFornia is the world’s largest producer and processor of raisins and other premium quality dried fruits, distributing to 50 countries worldwide. As a farmers’ cooperative, Sun-Maid is privately owned by 750 families who farm 50,000 acres centrally located in California. This unique growing area—featuring long dry summers optimal for grape production and natural sun-drying of grapes into raisins—has been the heart of the raisin industry since early settlers immigrated to California after the Gold Rush in the 1800s. Since its establishment in 1912 and into the 21st century, Sun-Maid has represented quality, a willingness to change with technology, and a focus on the customer. Continually searching for new ways to bring raisins and dried fruits to the kitchens and tables of American families and the world, Sun-Maid has, over the course of a century, developed a diverse assortment of recipes. This recipe booklet features a selection of favorites from the past 100 years of Sun-Maid’s delicious and colorful history. In 1915, Sun-Maid executives discovered Lorraine Collett Petersen, whose smiling face, red sunbonnet, and tray of fresh grapes would become synonymous with the sun-dried goodness of California raisins. 3 Family farmers utilize sustainable natural resources of sun, soil, and water to produce naturally sun-dried raisins. At the processing facility, specialized equipment washes the raisins before they are packed into a variety of packages. Sun-Maid Raisin Bread was introduced in 1980. Today, Sun-Maid Raisin Bread is widely distributed throughout the United States and Canada. From 1926 to 1932, renowned American artist Norman Rockwell created a number of paintings for use in Sun-Maid advertising. By 1964, further modernization of processes led to the construction and move to a new facility in neighboring Kingsburg. Situated on 73 acres, the 640,000-square-foot plant was voted one of America’s top new plants by Factory Magazine. For Banana French Toast made with Sun-Maid Raisin Bread, see page 7. International health researchers recognize traditional dried fruits as equivalent to fresh fruits and recommend they be considered side-by-side in dietary guidelines. raiSinS and dried FruitS often play an important part of holiday traditions, and their special foods and feasts. Though the dishes vary greatly from across the globe—from flaky pastries to rich puddings and spiced breads—there are raisin and dried fruit recipes for every celebration and religion. Hot Cross Buns (page 8) are an Easter tradition, making Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (page 19) is a quick and easy, family-friendly activity any time of year, Spicy Asian Slaw (page 11) spices up holiday meals with international ingredients, and Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding (page 23) is a old-fashioned holiday dessert. = = = The uses of raisins and dried fruits Available year-round, economical, and easy to use, raisins and dried fruits are the world’s most versatile food ingredients! While their applications are limitless, some favorites include: baked into breads, cakes, cookies, muffins, and pies, cooked with vegetables and meats, added to rice and other side dishes, stirred into salads, and eaten out of hand. The quintessential California girl, the Sun-Maid Girl is often used to convey the wholesome, healthful qualities of Sun-Maid raisins and dried fruits, which have long been valued for their freshness and quality. 4 SUN-MAID 100th ANNIVERSARY COOKBOOK 5 INGREDIENTS METHOD 8 slices Sun-Maid Raisin Bread 2 medium bananas cut in 1⁄4-inch slices 1 cup milk 4 ounces softened cream cheese 3 eggs 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Powdered sugar (optional) 1 Heat oven to 350°F. 2 Place four slices of raisin bread in a single layer in a buttered 9-inch square baking dish.
