  1                jar  apple jelly -- (10 ounces)
  1                cup  apple juice
     1/2      teaspoon  ground cardamom

  1         tablespoon  cornstarch
  2        tablespoons  water

Preparation:

Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. In a saucepan, combine apple jelly, apple juice and cardamom; cook and stir over medium heat until smooth and heated through. Set aside 1/2 cup. Brush some of the remaining sauce over roast; bake 40-60 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 - 170 degrees, brushing with sauce every 20 minutes. Transfer roast to a serving platter and keep warm. Pour pan drippings into a saucepan. Add apricots and reserved fruit sauce; cook over medium heat until softened, about five minutes. Combine the cornstarch and water until smooth; add to apricot mixture. Cook and stir until mixture boils about 2 minutes. Serve with roast.
