Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with warm water. Let them soak for 5 minutes to plump up, then drain and set aside.
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Dice the orange segments into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mixing bowl with the oranges.
Chop the cilantro leaves finely and add them to the bowl.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds and membrane for a milder heat (or leave them in for extra spice), then finely chop the pepper and add it to the mixture.
Zest and juice the lime, adding both the zest and juice to the mixing bowl.
Add the drained raisins to the mixture.
Drizzle the mixture with olive oil, and sprinkle in the salt and black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Allow the salsa to sit for 5–10 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
