My mother is in her 70's, when I was young she once told me a story about how she picked grapes for Sunmaid when she was young and they would just dump the grapes on these long rows of brown paper to sit and dry in the sun and she said you could see the dead flies in there. It traumatized her from eating raisins, even tho those rows of drying grapes would eventually end up in a packaging plant where they were likely washed/sorted. I'm sure it's all mechanized now. Funny the things you make me think of Emmy! 🦟

These bars remind me of a “special” cookie my mom ate when I was a kid. They were Sunshine raisin biscuits/cookies. I call them special because my dad bought them just for my mom. It was a special treat he got just for her. She always had a special smile and giggle when he got them for her. I think it was kinda a secret love note between them. The memory makes me smile. They truly loved each. Thank you for bringing back a sweet memory of my amazing parents.

[@KristenDScott]

Thank you for being so thorough and kind! I love how you taught this recipe.

[@mollynakamori]

Actually, currants are currants. These are Zante currants, which are dried champagne mini grapes. So, just teeny raisins. Real currants would be wonderful in this.

[@Kiddly3000]

here in the USA you cant get a hold of real currants cause in most parts of the USA they are ban due to a fungus they carry that kills our pine trees

[@markiangooley]

Kiddly3000 yeah, blackcurrant is still banned where white pines might grow even though it’s not much more of a host for disease than are native species of the same genus. So blackcurrant is simply not a flavor at all common in the USA (unlike Europe).

[@stillhuntre55]

Thank you! I was scrolling through the comments in the hopes someone had pointed this out! As a Canadian that grew up with currant bushes in the garden, it drives me crazy! In the US, you can't get currants- the packing should just acknowledge that Zantes are a substitute instead of trying pass them off with misleading labelling

[@Birdbike719]

I have been making this recipe for two years now, especially at Christmas, and my family and I just adore it! I changed up the filling and only used just cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and I used the zest of a small orange. The orange zest really brightens things up and and add a slight acidity that is needed (in my opinion)! My mom really loves it

[@ghidorahs1fan209]

My nan use to make this and it's one of my absolute favorite sweets.

[@joannegray5138]

Loved these when I was little. Mixed spice is used in the UK for all kinds of things and most kitchen cupboards have a jar in the spice rack. My mother (and generations before her) used to add a generous amount into her Christmas cake mix. All spice usually goes into any baked item (such as "fruit" cake, Christmas pudding or fruit scones) that contain currants, raisins or sultanas. It is also good in carrot cake.

I have red currant bushes I love Them!

The Currants that Emmy is using are a type of small dried champagne grape, not from a currant bush of any type.

When I was a kid, we had current bushes in the woods behind our house. I really miss them!

In South Africa we use mixed spice for a variety of sweet things including Christmas cake which is a mixture of dried fruit, flour, sugar, butter and eggs. We usually make it a month to a month and a half before Christmas. We also put brandy on the cake periodically during the month and a half before Christmas to add flavour and to make it yummy.

Needs a dirt pudding cup with it! 😆

I made one of these today. It turned out very well especially considering this is the first time I have ever baked any sort of pastry. I like how the recipe is simple enough for even a novice to follow. The only hitch was, when I went to the supermarket to get the ingredients, I got allspice instead of mixed spice. When I got home and checked the recipe, I realized my mistake and had to go back to get the right one.

we call it Squashed Fly Pie where we grew up in the UK.

Another excellent name!

My Mum (McQueen clan origin) made THE BEST fly cemetery! We were brought up on it as kids. Firstly the 'fly' filling was easily twice the thickness, and she made it with flaky/puff pastry. An afternoon tea staple. Deeelish!
