Roast Lamb with Plum Sauce Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 2-1/2 hours
  • Yield: 10-12 Servings
30 150 180

Ingredients

  • 1 leg of lamb (5 to 6 pounds)
  • 3 garlic cloves, slivered
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) plum jam
  • 1/2 cup chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup white grape juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

Directions

  • Remove thin fat covering from the roast. Make slits in meat; insert a garlic sliver in each. Place on a rack in a large roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, for plum sauce, in a medium saucepan, saute onions in butter until tender. Add the jam, chili sauce, grape juice, lemon juice and allspice; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Baste roast with sauce. Bake 1 hour longer, basting occasionally, or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium, a meat thermometer should read 160°; well-done, 170°), basting occasionally with plum sauce. Bring the remaining sauce to a boil; stir in parsley. Let roast stand for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve remaining sauce with roast. Yield: 11 servings.
