Yield: 8 servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 8 pounds | Leg of lamb |
| ½ teaspoon | Salt |
| ¼ teaspoon | Pepper |
| ½ cup | Red currant jelly |
| ½ cup | Dry sherry |
| ½ cup | Ketchup |
| 1 teaspoon | Dried marjoram |
Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper, and place on a shallow roasting pan.
Bake at 325øF for 1½ hours.
Combine the jelly and the remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the jelly melts.
Refrigerate 1 cup of the jelly mixture.
Score the lamb at 1-inch intervals, and brush lightly with the remaining jelly mixture. Bake, basting every 15 minutes, for one additional hour or until a meat thermometer registers 160øF.
Slice and serve with the reserved jelly mixture.
NOTE: Soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce may be substituted for the dry sherry for those that don't use alcohol.
