When necessary to wash, have cold water in a deep pan and turn the
berries in, not more than a quart at a time. (Do not pour the water
over the berries as that bruises them.) Rinse up and down in the
water with the hands and remove quickly to a colander. Drain, pile in
dish and serve at once. Lemon or currant juice poured over makes a
harmonious combination. ⅓ or ½ very ripe currants may be mixed with the
berries. Serve Brazil nuts or blanched almonds with these combinations.
