Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place a roasting pan in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees. To make the glaze: combine all ingredients except lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and strain. Stir in the lemon juice.

  2. Step 2

    To make the lamb: rub the lamb with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the pan, fatty side down, and roast for 10 minutes. Baste with glaze, turn over and baste the other side. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted reads 125 degrees. Let stand several minutes before slicing. Serve with extra glaze.

I used this recipe to cook a butterflied leg of lamb for a couple of family members who are not especially fond of lamb. We were all really happy with the result. I used less honey because the pomegranate syrup was sweetened (not all brands are). Some of the glaze went into the roasting pan with the lamb: this made a mess but was worth it.

Can pomegranate molasses be used instead of syrup?
