Ingredients
1 leg of lamb (5 to 6 pounds)3 garlic cloves, slivered1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions1/4 cup butter1 jar (12 ounces) plum jam1/2 cup chili sauce1/4 cup white grape juice1 tablespoon lemon juice1/2 teaspoon ground allspice1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
Preparation
Remove thin fat covering from the roast. Make slits in meat; insert a garlic sliver in each. Place on a rack in a large roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, for plum sauce, in a medium saucepan, saute onions in butter until tender. Add the jam, chili sauce, grape juice, lemon juice and allspice; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Baste roast with sauce. Bake 1 hour longer, basting occasionally, or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium, a thermometer should read 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting occasionally with plum sauce. Bring the remaining sauce to a boil; stir in parsley. Let roast stand for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve remaining sauce with roast.
