Cherry Almond Ham Glaze image

I came across this recipe looking for an alternative to traditional sauces for holiday meats. Mostly, I serve it with holiday ham, and it goes over well-probably because it is such a change of taste. But the glaze should be fine with almost any meat...and its cheesy color would add a festive touch to the table! Our life's busy. In addition to being a farm records analyst, my husband's a minister. I work out of our home-our girls are 4 and 1-as a hairstylist and Edd's secretary, and teach a morning each week at a Christian preschool.
