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

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 Freedom or other variety plums (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon honey
1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced, including seeds
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 racks of lamb (about 3 1/2 pounds total)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Oven Dried Plums
Thyme sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Quarter plums; remove pits. Combine plums, honey, jalapeno, sugar, vinegar, and lime juice in a small nonreactive saucepan. Cook over low heat until plums are very soft and juice is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. If plums are not juicy, add water a little at a time during cooking to avoid scorching. Remove from heat, strain, and discard solids.
  • Heat grill or cast-iron grill pan. Season lamb well with salt and pepper and wrap bones with foil to prevent burning. Grill lamb fat side down for 5 minutes, brush with plum glaze, and turn over. Repeat glazing every minute or so thereafter. For rare lamb, cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes; cook longer for medium or well. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes after grilling.
  • Toss Oven Dried Plums with some of the remaining glaze. Carve racks into chops. Serve 2 chops per person with the glazed plums; garnish with sprigs of thyme.

A family favorite. I don't even like chops and I like this recipe! I ran out of plum jam for this recipe once and used apricot instead. It still tasted good. I normally leave out the celery.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Choose the right cut of meat: For this recipe, you'll want to use a lamb shoulder or leg roast. These cuts are both relatively inexpensive and have a good amount of fat, which will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Don't overcook the meat: Lamb is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the meat rest before slicing: Once the meat is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough: The plum glaze should be thick enough to coat the lamb without being too runny. If it's too thin, it won't stick to the meat. If it's too thick, it will be difficult to spread.

Conclusion:

Plum-glazed lamb is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a special occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new lamb recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
