The raisins that we get here are just dried grapes.
In the picture above, these raisins have been plumped in rum. I don't like putting the dried raisins in anything because they draw out the moisture of whatever you are baking. I always keep them in a jar in the refrigerator covered with rum.
Once in awhile I can get these raisins here
and they are delicious. Much better than the dried little bullets that you usually have to buy.

Equal amounts of dried prunes and water, cooked to soft and mushy, processed in the food processor with a goodly dollop of minced ginger.
Yes. Problem is that prunes are not that common round here.
I might mush up some 杨梅 (yáng méi), a local fruit instead.
That would probably work for the baby food but for the dried prunes you could substitute any other dried fruit that you want. I checked on the amount of the baby food that I use and it says that it has 113g.
