I'm glad I read the other review first and decided to make the glaze (1/3 of recipe since I just wanted a sauce and did not plan to glaze the ham) without the sugar - Even though the preserves I purchased were 'sour cherry' preserves, they were plenty sweet without adding any sugar. I also added just a splash water and ended up cooking it right back out - think I'll skip the water completely next time and save time - Went well with the ham and tasted very similar to the pickled blueberries I canned a few months ago (and serve over goat cheese)

The sauce is wonderful! I used basalmic instead of cider vinegar and did not add the extra sugar or water. I will make this again to add to all pork meals!
