Hi there, Yes we call them Sultanas here in Ireland as well, and use them frequently. I would agree, there is no reason you couldn't use raisins. Basically, a sultana is just a slightly bigger raisin, so if you were to use the same weight you might even get a few more of them through the mixture. Some people over here use them in fruit scones (I believe).
