Take 1 1/2 cups of fresh currants, place in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cool and drain. Use the prepared currants to replace the blueberries. Replace 1/4 cup of sugar with 1/4 cup light colored honey (preferably home grown) and you will have delicious currant muffins.You get what you can get sometimes!
