From Cooking Light, July 2007. Sounds great and I don't want to lose it. My DH as diabetes so I will use sugar-free cherry preserves. "Cherry preserves and balsamic vinegar combine for a quick, tasty glaze. Pair with couscous to soak up any extra pan sauce." A serving size is 2 chops with 3 tbsp. of glaze.

- Marinate the lamb chops before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.

- Baste the lamb chops with the cherry glaze frequently. This will help to keep the chops moist and prevent them from drying out.
- Let the lamb chops rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
