The process involves removing the stems from the currants and then carefully inserting the pitter or knife into the top of the fruit to remove the seeds. This can be a delicate process as currants are small and can easily be squished. Once the seeds are removed, the currants can be used in various recipes such as jams, sauces, or baked goods. **
