Actually, Dawne - dried currents aren't currents at all - the name came
from the French - 'raisins de corinth' or Corinth grapes. So what we
call currents (when baking something like a fruit cake) are actually a
type of raisin. (just as we call the fat, white raisins - sultanas).



Trader Joe's has currents and Corinth raisins and a million other dried
fruits. The currents are reddish when soaked.
