Fruity and flavorful, this wonderful glaze is simple to prepare, and its hint of garlic really complements the lamb. The recipe makes enough glaze to baste the lamb during roasting and leaves plenty to pass when serving. —Ann Eastman Greenville, California

Plum-Glazed Lamb Recipe
  • Prep: 5 min. Bake: 2-1/2 hours
  • Yield: 10-12 Servings
5 150 155

Ingredients

  • 1 leg of lamb (4 to 5 pounds)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) plums, pitted
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

  • Place lamb, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Season with salt and pepper. Bake at 325° for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
  • Meanwhile, drain plums, reserving 1/2 cup syrup. In a food processor, place the plums, reserved syrup, garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and basil. Cover and process until smooth; set aside half of plum sauce.
  • Baste lamb every 15 minutes during the last hour of roasting. In a small saucepan, simmer reserved sauce for 5 minutes; serve with meat. Yield: 10-12 servings.

This was very good! Lamb is one of my favorite meats and this was easy and tasty. I used plum jam without the skin and mixed the glazed ingredients in a bowl rather than using whole plums and a blender.

My mom is the one who submitted this recipe!

This was always my birthday dinner when I was growing up and now I make it every year for my son's birthday, who is now in his 20's.

The sauce is also great with other meat as well.

Enjoy!
