All rights reserved and enforcedThere are two completely different fruits called Currants which have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The first is the dried fruit that is basically a raisin; it's made from grapes (see Zante Currants.) The second is the fresh red, white and black Currants that are in fact berries. Since they are about the same size as the raisins, the name Currant was applied to them starting around the mid 1500s. Thankfully, the same reasoning wasn't applied to rabbit turds.
Also called: Groseilles, Raisins de Corinthe (French); Korinthen (German); Uva passa di Corinto (Italian); Pasas de Corinto (Spanish)
