Easiest to grow cultivar is 'Consort'.

Currants are a stately bush of upright canes, attractive leaves, and fruits like dangling pearls that are beauties in any edible landscape. Another European and Russian favorite that bursts with flavor and tremendous aroma, though not for the lighthearted as they are quite tart and acidic. These qualities make them ideal for jam and wine making. Similar in size to the gooseberry but thornless and erect in growth, usually between 3–5 feet, they blend in nicely at the shrub layer around trees, foundation plantings, and next to evergreens

I plant them between fruit trees where they get just enough light to fruit (6 hours) and stay cool in our hot Maryland summers. There are black, red, white, and pink types of currants that go from very tart to sweet respectively. Aside from their packed flavor, the currant boasts 5 times the vitamin C
of oranges by weight, twice the potassium of bananas and antioxidants of blueberries.

Raintree Nursery has a fine and extensive list of currants to choose
from for the home gardener.
