I just use the recipe that was in the second issue of Martha Stewart Living...quick and easy and somehow my family actually seems honored that I would get up early and go through the trouble.

One of my biggest problems, though, is finding a steady supply of currants...it's pretty hit and miss in these parts. I absolutely hate, detest, loathe and abhor raisins...always have,,,thus, currants are the ticket. Ocean Spray has recently done those cranberry-raisin things, Craisins, with a cherry flavor and those will be tried soon.

Best
