Currant Substitute Mix

Calories: 638kcal
Author: Val

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.
