Complimenting peeled dried fruit (6)

I believe the answer is:

raisin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dried fruit' is the definition.
(raisin is a kind of dried fruit)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for raisin that I've seen before include "A dried grape, nice in cake" , "Partially dried grape" , "Dried 18" , "A dried grape used in cake" , "An iris (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
