Leg o' Lamb with Lemon and Rosemary

By: Rosemary Mom 
"This recipe is great on the grill. Dad uses a grill pan, and cooks according to oven directions. Usually the ham is in the oven so the grill works for us. A wonderful addition for Easter. The lamb and ham taste wonderful together. Source: Mom and Dad. "

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (6 pound) leg of lamb, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 6 cloves garlic, halved
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion and mushroom soup mix

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Spread butter generously over the lamb, and distribute garlic clove halves over the meat. Sprinkle with rosemary and pepper. Place the lamb on a rack inside a roasting pan.
  3. Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  4. Mix the lemonade concentrate and dry soup mix together in a bowl, pour over the lamb, and roast an additional 30 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb should read 120 degrees F/58 degrees C for medium-rare or 145 degrees F/68 degrees C for medium-well. Allow the roast to stand for about 20 minutes before slicing.
