Ingredients
- 5 pounds leg of lamb boneless, Open Nature brand
- 4 garlic cut in half, cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil O Organics brand
- 2 tablespoons rosemary fresh, chopped, O Organics brand
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper ground
The Glaze:
- 6 tablespoons blackberry preserves O Organics brand
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut 8 small slits over the surface of the lamb. Tuck a half garlic clove in each slit.
- Using kitchen string, tightly tie the lamb in several places (see photo above).
- In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Rub the rosemary mixture over the surface of the lamb.
- Place the leg of lamb in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Decrease the heat to 350 degrees F and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 130 degrees F, about 1 ¼ hours. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the lamb with ⅓ of the glaze.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for about 20 minutes. The temperature will rise about 10 degrees as the lamb rests, bringing it to medium-rare.
- Brush the lamb with another ⅓ of the glaze. Slice against the grain. Serve with remaining glaze.
The Glaze:
- In a small, whisk together the blackberry preserves, Worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar.
