Fresh currants are one of summer’s overlooked treasures. They are just as adaptable to baking as other more common berries, such as blueberries and raspberries. In fact, naturally tart currants are often paired with those sweeter berries for a perfect balance of flavors. Here, red currants and raspberries are tossed together and baked in a double-crust pie liberally sprinkled with sanding sugar. It’s exactly the type of dessert you want to make—and eat—after a visit to a farmers’ market or roadside fruit stand in high summer.
