I think I might like that recipe, if you are willing to share it. My
currants are the wild ones, actually squawberries, very musty and they make
an awesome sauce for pork roasts etc. It's actually raining here, temp 68
according to the latest report with the wind chill brings it down to 61F
right now. Crazy weather after being over 90 for the last 52 days, its a
welcome break.

Ahh, currants, I'm enjoying the ones that Bill Loke sent me in return for
some
gumbo file'. Think I'll make a drunken currant cake this weekend.
