Calories: 638kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup chopped dried cherries
- ¼ cup chopped dried blueberries
Instructions
Prepare the Dried Fruits:
- If the dried fruits are very dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to plump them up. Drain well before using.
Chop as Needed:
- Chop the dried cherries and dried blueberries into smaller pieces to better match the size of currants.
Combine:
- In a medium bowl, combine the raisins, dried cranberries, chopped dried cherries, and chopped dried blueberries to create a currant substitute mix. Mix well to ensure an even distribution.
Storage:
- Store the mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
Notes
Use this substitute mix in equal amounts as you would currants in your recipe. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of currants, use 1 cup of the currant substitute mix.
