Default Low carb substitute for raisins

Do you know what would be good to use for a substitute for raisins? I want to make a curry dish, but it calls for raisins... Thanks Karen or any one else who might know...

Sorry! I don't have an answer for you. Maybe someone else has an idea.

I was thinking dried cranberries, but I don't know what the count is on them.

I've tried 3 approaches thus far with some success.

1 - In most cases, you can just leave them out and no harm or change to the recipe as they aren't key to the flavour, they are usually garnish.

2 - IF you can find dried cranberries with NO added sugar (very difficult) they can work. Fresh or Frozen Cranberries that have been cooked just til softened and then drained and chopped, can be used for their tartness and colour alone. Won't need very much, perhaps half the amount of raisins called for (and add sweetener if desired at the cooking).

3 - Dried currants or blueberries (if you are sure there is no added sugar) can also do the job. They're not as tart as the cranberries but are closer in texture to the raisins.

I usually just leave them out. The only recipe I've found that they are "key" or important in, is raisin pie. Don't even go there
