My ham turned out a bit dry. I think I overcooked it. But the sauce was still delicious!

The sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

Didn't have time to cook the ham so I used a precooked spiral ham. Worked fine!

This cherry sauce is now my new favorite condiment. I tried it with pork tenderloin instead of ham and it was excellent!
