long; poach in simmering water 20 minutes. Drain, discarding water,
and set aside.
Stir cornstarch mixture into currants and water; cook, stirring
constantly, over medium heat until sauce has thickened and become
transparent. Add brown sugar, orange and lemon juice, jelly and wine; stir until jelly is melted and add prepared orange and lemon rinds and black cherries. Serve warm over ham slices. Makes about five cups of sauce.
