Beware "sulfured fruit"

2006-04-25 3:39pm

When brewing with dried fruit, choose UNSULFERED fruit only...you'll be glad you did. Typically all white, yellow and orange colored dried fruits have been sulfured, or treated with sulfur dioxide to prevent darkening. You can probably find unsulfured versions at an organic outlet (but the color will be darker).
