Currants, to Clean

The best way to clean dried currants is to rub a handful of flour into them; then put them into a colander, shake it well to get rid of the stalks, and afterwards pour over the currants a little cold water. Press the currants in a soft cloth and lay them on a dish, look them carefully over to see that no small stones are amongst them, put them on the hearth at a little distance from the fire, and let them gradually dry. If placed too near, so as to dry very quickly, they will be hard.
