There is 1 or 2 fixes for that.

First fix: is don't use the raisins or currants ...treat them as optional.

Second: soak those pesky criters in brandy or rum for 15 minutes before
use. This totally changes their texture and taste.

Third: Replace them with either chopped pecans or chopped walnuts.
