CHERRY ALMOND HAM GLAZE
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.

Tips:
- To easily remove the rind from fresh cherries, use a cherry pitter or a paring knife to make a small slit along one side of the cherry and gently pull it off.
- If you don't have any fresh cherries, you can use 1 cup of frozen unsweetened cherries, thawed and drained, in their place.
- To make a richer glaze, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- If you want a boozy glaze, add 1/4 cup of your favorite liqueur, such as brandy, rum, or bourbon, to the glaze.
- To make a vegan glaze, replace the honey with 1/4 cup of maple syrup.
- Be sure to cook the ham until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
