Meanwhile make sauce in small saucepan by combining cherry preserves, vinegar, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves plus 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally; reduce heat and simmer two minutes longer. Add toasted almonds. Spoon sauce over roast and continue roasting for about 30 minutes longer or until meat thermometer registers 170 degrees. Baste roast with sauce several times. Pass sauce with roast when served.
