Quoting Elisa: So you are right. The thing is, we use "raisin" both for "currant" and "raisin" overhere. Nobody uses "krent" here really. I never got the difference 
But my intentions were good though  |
I also didn't mean to be a know-all but I got confused myself too on this topic earlier.
A 'currant/krent' comes from a totally different grape family than normal 'raisins', They are twice as small but are dried like raisins. However, there is also a plant that carries 'currants' and these berries are used too to dry and called currant/krent, so there is a difference between raisins and currants. Raisins are bigger, a bit sweeter and softer.
I wouldnt know the difference either hadnt it been that I worked in a pancake-restaurant and 'currants' are a wanted ingredient for elderly people 
To keep the story to Turkey, kuru üzümler are used in some tatlılar, cookies and cakes, kuşÃ¼zümü is used in certain pilavs and dolma biberi.
