Step 1

Rub roast with a little salt and pepper. Place on rack in shallow baking pan. Roast, uncovered in slow oven (325 degrees) for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Meantime, combine cherry preserves, corn syrup, vinegar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently; reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Add slivered almonds.

Keep sauce warm. When meat has roasted 2 to 2 1/2 hours, spoon enough hot cherry sauce over roast to glaze; return to oven for about 30 minutes more or until meat thermometer registers 175 degrees. Baste roast with sauce several times during last 30 minutes.

Pass remaining sauce with roast.
