Plural of currant; multiple small dried seedless grapes, or berries from currant bushes used in cooking.
Regular English plural of 'currant', derived from Old French 'corinthe' via medieval English commerce; the plural form became standardized as currants became common in English kitchens.
Currants appear in recipes from every century since the Middle Ages—they're the reason British puddings like Christmas pudding and scones taste the way they do, connecting modern desserts to ancient Mediterranean trade.
