Luckily I read the other reviews first so I doubled the recipe. It made just enough for 24 grape leaves. This is time consuming and not easy, but the results are worth it. I've never had grape leaves with currants, but the currants really work for this recipe.
I think this would make a good appetizer for a party or a wedding.
