Just a thought, but woud you be able to use blackcurrant or ginger wine in the recipe you posted, thriftady?

I don't know, but it might be an alternative to the alcohol

I'm sure both of those would work but I think the point of the recipe would be lost rather, I think it's really one for the boozers among us:D

Yea, I know, I'm not a great fan of the boozy food either and just thought it might mean that you could still try it but without the actual alcohol. I know what you mean, though

Think this is one that might be best left alone to those who like it

They're different types of dried grapes I'll add your question to the existing thread on this subject, where there are more replies

Currants are not blackcurrants, but dried grapes. Their name is a corruption of Corinth/Korinth in Greece, where they usually come from.
