Bake, uncovered, at 325F for 1½ to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140F. In a saucepan, combine the preserves, vinegar, corn syrup, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in almonds. Serve with the ham. Yield: 10 - 12 servings ( 1 ½ cups sauce). Typed in MMFormat by cjhartlin@... Source: Quick Cooking Nov/Dec 98.
