Crossword Genius

Sweet little things found in harem perhaps (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sultanas

This clue is a double definition.

'sweet little things' is the first definition.
(small raisins)

'found in harem perhaps' is the second definition.
(historically a harem might have included sultanas)

(Other definitions for sultanas that I've seen before include "Currants" , "concubines" , "Dried seedless grapes" , "Dried fruit - female relatives of a Muslim ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
