I planted a white currant bush last year and this year it gave me a couple of handfuls. They have a fresh taste like a green grape but a bit more tart. I’m in the process of drying them now so I can use them to make some currant scones

Noo you reminded me how much bushes of red currant I have to pick and process.
Easiest thing is to put it in strong alcohol and make liqueur.
I was thinking make wine out of them. But you need much more than what OP has.
When you have 10 plants it is more then enough to make wine. Problem is that there is too much of it, you get bored and looks for simplest solution.
I make liqueur from it, just putting it in strong alcohol for 6 months and straining it after. My brother makes wine.
I used to make wine. It can be a lot of work to do it right.
What kind of strong alcohol do you use to make liqueur?
Do you have a recipe to share for red/black/white currant liqueur?
Haha yeah, they’re a pain. Even this small amount was extremely tedious to get off the stems.
