Main Ingredients

Mint Jelly

Method

Preparing the Lamb

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the lamb shoulder. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Roast the Lamb

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated lamb in a roasting pan and roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Making the Mint Jelly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Mint

    In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and white vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the fresh mint leaves and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  2. 4

    Strain the Mixture

    Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves. Return the liquid to the saucepan.

  3. 5

    Add Pectin

    Add the pectin to the strained liquid. Return to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

  4. 6

    Cool and Store

    Pour the mint jelly into sterilized jars and let it cool to room temperature. Seal and refrigerate. The jelly will thicken as it cools.
