To speed up prep
: A mandoline or food processor slicing/shredding disk can get the carrots ribboned or shredded in seconds.
For softer raisins
: Some people prefer to soak the raisins in warm water or apple/pineapple juice for 30 minutes.
Adjust the texture
: Depending on how you prepare the carrots (ribbons vs. shreds) and their thickness.
