PLUM-GLAZED LAMB
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 LAMB CASSEROLE
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.

LAMB CASSEROLE
Lamb Forequarter Casserole. This casserole is so yummy! The trick is to cook it slowly for at least two and a half hours. It can also be done in the slow cooker. The lamb just falls off the bone when it is done correctly. Warning...if it is not cooked long enough the lamb will be tough! I always taste the sauce after an hour and a half to see if it needs anything added. I hope you enjoy this. By the way the recipe only allows me to put the chops as shoulders but I buy them labeled forequarters.
