Oh.  I didn't realize this was possible.  Pardon my ignorance but this
has absolutely nothing to do with the methods used to prepare dried foods
sold commercially, does it?  Here, you're basically drying things out,
right?  Do you, and can this be done with other fruits?  What happens to
the grapes at the end of that period?  Do they actually taste good and
are a natural, and reasonably healthy food then?  Any specific type of
grapes for this?

Hmm.. any more on this please?  What is comb honey?
