Then I heat gently, stirring a little and mashing them a bit with the back of
a plastic cooking spoon until the currants are sort of white and
muddy-looking, and collapse.
Thanks, Ginda. I worried about cooking them to remove the juice, because
my mom told me that the sauce she tried to make turned out horribly -
completely inedible. So I wondered if the juice had to be removed from
the seeds without, or before, cooking. (I think she was using either red
or pink currents, if that makes a difference.)
Then again, she did make a pie with them, and that was... OK. It wasn't
particularly good, but it didn't seem like cooking the seeds was a
problem there.
Thanks again,
