Best Answer: Currants are a small red berry that is sweet and a bit tart. Yes many times in a recipe that calls for currants, you can substitute them with raisins or dried cranberries. Currants are just a smaller grape variety. If you are making something that calls for currents, it's for the size probably. I would take some raisins and chop them up a bit, then measure out the amount that you need for the currants. Some people don't like the big raisin bite and currants are a great way around that, they are smaller by far.
So called Zante Currants, Zante Raisins or worse Currants without the Zante prefix (those little raisiny things) are in fact dried grapes and have nothing to do with real currants.
