Raisins made using round shaped grapes having thin peel will be more soft. And while steaming the grapes try to use a perforated plate (plate having holes) to avoid water collection. If you are preparing the raisins in large quantity, then you can steam them by tying them in a cotton cloth. However in that case, you may have to steam the grapes for little longer time.
