Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lb spring lamb leg (or leg of lamb)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, lightly chopped
2 Tbsp fresh thyme, lightly chopped
2/3 cup honey
1 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line an oven-proof baking dish with foil.
  • 2. Mix together the salt, pepper and ginger, and rub it all over the lamb. Place the lamb in the baking dish, and sprinkle rosemary and thyme over the lamb. Pour the honey on top of the lamb, then pour the cider around the lamb (but don't pour cider directly on top of lamb).
  • 3. Place baking dish in preheated oven and let roast for 30 minutes. Baste with pan juices every 15 to 20 minutes, adding more cider if needed.
  • 4. After the initial 30 minutes roasting time, reduce oven temperature to 400°F and continue roasting (and basting every 15 to 20 minutes) for 70 to 90 minutes longer. (Total roasting time should be about 20 to 25 minutes per pound, plus 20 minutes more.)

I'm not a fan of lamb, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The honey glaze really helped to mellow out the flavor of the meat.

This recipe was a complete failure. The lamb was overcooked and the glaze was burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The glaze was too thick and didn't really coat the lamb evenly. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

The lamb was a bit tough, but the glaze was delicious. I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
