Step 1
Place currants in a small bowl; cover with orange liqueur. Let soak until plump, about 1 hour.

Place remaining 3/4 cup butter, chicken liver mixture, heavy cream, thyme, and allspice in a food processor; blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in currants and orange liqueur. Season pate with salt and pepper.
