1/2 cup crème de cassis (black currant-flavored liqueur) or cherry-flavored brandy |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 cups dried tart cherries or dried bing cherries or 1 cup of each (about 10 ounces total) |
3/4 cup pecans, toasted, chopped (about 3 ounces) |
2 tablespoons grated orange peel |
1 6- to 8-pound spiral-cut honey-roasted ham or one 12- to 14-pound honey-roasted turkey |

Directions:
1. Stir crème de cassis, 1/2 cup water and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil. Add dried cherries.
