        Yes, in the future I sure will. The bush does not need much care except some pruning in the spring. Needs to be watered a lot as well.

        I've never used frozen ones, but I don't see why not. They may leak a bit while baking since they are frozen.

      Just made it! My currants are darker and it still is studded with burst jewels.
      The cooking time is several minutes too long even with my oven on the cool side. Watch them carefully to not burn.
      I really like the generous currant content.
