I have not personally tried infusing vodka with dried currants. However, I did find this recipe for dried currant brandy that sounds promising: https://boozedandinfused.com/2012/03/21/dried-current-brandy/. If you try it, I’d love to hear how it turns out! ~Eliza

Was wondering if the cassis can be made with dried currants? Would the vodka dehydrate them enough to infuse? Unable yo find fresh currants down south in Atlanta.

I think the frozen currants would work perfectly in this recipe because the vodka slowly gets infused with the color and essence of the currants. I checked our batch recently and took a small taste and the flavor is amazing! Good luck and thanks for visiting.

I have a big bag full, was going to defrost and make jam/jelly, but I’d love something alcoholic instead. Or maybe I’ll have to wait for next year…

There is nothing that says we are at the height of summer and that are gardens are brimming over, better, then a wide mouth quart sized Ball Mason jar. I myself am about to can some Sauerkraut that has been crock rotting for a couple of weeks now.

I was in my garden just last evening at twilight, a bit in awe of these plants bearing vegetables and fine things to eat. I suddenly realized I had probably over planted green beans. I thought to myself…. “dare I consider canning some of them for winter? After all, Del Monte charges me just $1.19 a can, anytime.” I’m thinking about it…..

I will be back for the holidays…. for the unsealing, and to hear the rest of this story
