I didn't have apricot preserves so I used orange marmalade instead. Omitted the honey and used a bit of Dijon mustard.

With preserves, OJ AND honey this is too sweet. I ditched the honey and added lemon juice to cut the sweet and some tang.

i find a splash of soy sauce adds a browned appearance plus cuts a bit of the cloying sweetness.

We loved this. I used homemade apricot jam. Next time I would decrease the amount of honey and increase the amount of jam for more flavor and the jam already is sweetened. Love this recipe!
