We have been able to get them in the United States for a long time since they are actually a type of red grape and not an actual currant. <br /><br />The ban was lifted a few years back, and the true currants online at Amazon are pricier and not worth it. I purchased true dried currants and they were like paper even when I soaked them. I would stick with Zante because they are tarter than regular dried grapes and better than actual dried currants.ladycbmechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15412850164737625534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-18511650866567159112022-03-12T11:22:45.002+00:002022-03-12T11:22:45.002+00:00I would thaw them out completely and then warm the...I would thaw them out completely and then warm them for a few minutes in a low oven.
