Zante currant - online puzzles

Zante currants, Corinth raisins, or Corinthian raisins, also called simply currants, are dried berries of the small, sweet, seedless grape cultivar ' Black Corinth' ( Vitis vinifera). The name comes from the Anglo-French phrase "raisins de Corinthe" ( grapes of Corinth) and the Ionian island of Zakynthos (Zante), which was once the major producer and exporter. It is not related to black, red or white currants, which are berries of shrubs in the genus Ribes and not usually prepared in dried form.
