Mouthwatering sweet and sticky barbecue lamb that will be a hit at any cookout.
Ingredients:
  • 85g (1/4 cup) plum jam
  • 21.00 gm fresh orange juice
  • 11.80 gm Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 2kg leg of lamb
  • Steamed Baby Cream Delight potatoes, to serve (see note)
  • Olive oil, to serve
  • Chopped fresh thyme, extra, to serve
  • Steamed green round beans, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat a covered grill to 200°C. Place a wire rack in a foil-lined pan.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer the jam, orange juice, mustard, and thyme for 5 minutes until the jam melts and the mixture is fully blended. Stir continuously.
  • Lay the lamb on the wire rack and generously brush with the jam mixture, saving a third of it for basting later. If desired, insert a meat thermometer.
  • Position the tray at the center of the barbecue. Turn off the burners beneath the tray and set the side burners to low heat. Close the barbecue.
  • During the 1 1/2 hours of roasting, baste the lamb with the jam mixture every 30 minutes. Once the meat thermometer reads medium or the lamb is cooked to your preference, transfer it to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • In a bowl, toss the potatoes with oil and sprinkle generously with fresh thyme. Slice the lamb and serve with the seasoned potatoes and green beans.
