Production & Sourcing
Sugar-infused dried currants are typically made by coating fresh currants with a sugar syrup or soaking them in a sugar solution.
This process involves cleaning and drying the currants, after which they are dipped or soaked in a concentrated sugar solution. The sugar content allows the currants to absorb the syrup, infusing them with sweetness and preserving their texture and color.
Once sufficiently infused, they are dried to remove excess moisture, resulting in plump, sweetened dried currants ready for packaging and use in various culinary applications.
