Categories     Liqueur     Fruit     turkey     Christmas     Buffet     Cherry     Ham     Pecan     Potluck     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 12 to 14

Number Of Ingredients 8

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
Small dinner rolls (optional)

Steps:

  • 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. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until cherries are plump, about 5 minutes. Mix in pecans and orange peel. Season relish lightly with salt. Transfer to bowl. Cool. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Place ham or turkey on platter. Place bowl with cherry relish alongside. Serve with dinner rolls, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, plump cherries: Dried cherries can be made from any variety of cherry, but sweet cherries are the most popular. Look for cherries that are firm and have a deep red color.
  • Wash the cherries thoroughly: Before drying the cherries, it is important to wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. This will also help to prevent the cherries from sticking together during the drying process.
  • Pit the cherries: Once the cherries are washed, they need to be pitted. This can be done using a cherry pitter or a paring knife. Be careful not to cut yourself while pitting the cherries.
  • Dry the cherries: The cherries can be dried in a dehydrator or in the oven. If using a dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If using the oven, preheat the oven to 140°F (60°C). Spread the cherries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 6-8 hours, or until the cherries are dry and leathery.
  • Store the dried cherries: Once the cherries are dried, they can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Dried cherries will last for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Dried cherry relish is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great addition to sandwiches, salads, and yogurt parfaits. It can also be used as a glaze for grilled meats or fish. Dried cherry relish is a delicious and healthy way to add flavor to your meals.
