Currant

a Grecian raisin, produced by drying the small, sweet, seedless grape of that country. These grape currants are one of the chief crops of Greece and are much in demand by makers of cakes and puddings. Currants of this sort are really Grecian raisins. They get their name from Corinth, the city that sent most of them to market. Corinth has been changed to currant, much as "Worcester" has become "Wooster." See Greece
