They will also be passable in cranberry nut bread. Did they get all dry and weird? Same thing happens to the dried currants I buy, sometimes.
Dry, yes, and also with a weird, bitter-orange flavor, despite the fact that they are NOT dried cranberries with "orange essence." Cranberry nut bread is a brilliant idea. I even have the perfect loaf pan.
How do you eat the dried currants?
If I remember right (haven't bought them in a while), I bought them for Irish soda bread, and then I left them in the cupboard. They were fine in the soda bread though - I guess the moisture of the wet ingredients plumped them up and made them far more edible.
I often have the oposite problem with the fresh cranberries (with the same solution). If I don't remember to pop them in the freezer they go all runny, and then I use them in the bread, where they make the bread extra moist (and very pink throughout!).
Hmmm, now I feel like baking.
