Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Open Nature boneless leg of lamb
  • 4 garlic cloves cut in half
  • 3 tablespoons O Organics extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped O Organics fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper
The Glaze:
  • 6 tablespoons O Organics blackberry preserves
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Cut 8 small slits over the surface of the lamb. Tuck a half garlic clove in each slit.
  3. Using kitchen string, tightly tie the lamb in several places (see photo above).
  4. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Rub the rosemary mixture over the surface of the lamb.
  5. Place the leg of lamb in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Brush the lamb with another ⅓ of the glaze. Slice against the grain. Serve with remaining glaze.
The Glaze:
  1. In a small, whisk together the blackberry preserves, Worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar.
