    • Add cinnamon. Cool slightly. Working in batches, transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Add more liquid if too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with raisins.

    • Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate without raisins (can be made up to 2 days ahead). Reheat over medium heat and sprinkle with raisins.
