Soaking Barberries

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I've got a recipe that I'm making tomorrow and it days to soak the dried barberries. What it doesn't say is for how long.

Does anyone know how long to soak barberries for please?

We'll be making this recipe with fresh herbs (minus the sprig of fennugreek which I've never seen before, only in seed form) using walnuts and barberries as our optional extras.

Never heard of them. Are they a hedgerow? Product. I was watching a rick Stein program last night where he picked wild blackberries for a compote.
We grow our own here.

In my experience they will only need about 10 minutes really. If you soak them too long the flavour can leech out in the water. They are after all, delicious eaten dried so really the only purpose is to soften them a little.
