100% would make again

A FRIEND shared this recipe with me many years ago. My son-in-law loves these lamb shanks as part of a hearty meal with baked potatoes, a hot vegetable and fresh fruit salad. Of course, I include mint jelly on the side. -Jeanne McNamara, Camillus, New York

I tried this recipe and they were delicious. I increased the cooking time to 3 hours at 325 degrees. I also added 1/4 cups of Teriyakie sauce.

I tried this recipe out, and keverwann is right about the increased time and tenderness; I put it in my oven @ 325F as instructed, and it wasn't what I expected, nor did it look like the picture. I put it back for an extra 1.5hrs, and it was more tender/looked more like the picture. It was excellent with mint jelly. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

The longer you cook these, the more tender they are. Yummy taste even though the combination seems odd.

You might want to grease the lid of your baking dish in addition to the dish itself, mine splattered all over it and might be difficult to clean.
