Free Recipe: Apple Crisp with Brandy-Soaked Currants
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
This recipe calls for soaking dried currants in apple brandy. The longer the currants steep, the more the flavor will be enhanced, so plan accordingly. Our favorite apple brandy, also called eau de vie, is made by Steve McCarthy’s Clear Creek Distillery (see the Sources section) using Golden Delicious apples grown on the northeast slope of Mt. Hood, just seventy miles east of Portland. The brandy is excellent for both sweet and savory recipes.
