For Glaze, in 2-quart saucepan, combine preserves, 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
Combine lamb, carrot, radish, cashews, and 1/2 cup of glaze, add 1/2 cup water to remaining glaze and set aside to use as a dipping sauce. Place 1 tsp of lamb mixture in center of each wonton skin. Fold one corner over the filling to meet opposite corner and moisten edges with water to seal. Keep wonton skins and filled wontons covered with damp clean towels while you work so they do not dry out.
In 3 quart heavy saucepan, heat vegetable oil to 360 F. Fry three to four wontons at a time, 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown; turn over once while cooking. Remover and drain on paper towels. Serve with dipping sauce.
