Ingredients
  • 1, 6 pound leg of lamb
  • 3 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
  • 2-1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 - 6 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups tomato juice - I like V8
  • 1-1/2 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • Serve with boiled or roasted Yukon gold potatoes, your choice of another vegetable ie. green beams. spinach and mint sauce or jelly as a condiment.

Directions
  1. Make slits in the lamb and fill with garlic clove slices.
  2. Place lamb in a large roasting pan.
  3. Beat sugar and olive oil together until sugar dissolves.
  4. Rub this mixture over the entire lamb.
  5. Mix tomato juice, oregano, salt and pepper together and pour half of the mixture over the lamb.
  6. Preheat the oven at 425 degrees F.
  7. Place lamb roast in oven for 15-20 minutes to sear the outside of the meat.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue cooking for another 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
  9. About halfway through roasting, pour remainder of tomato mixture over the lamb.
  10. Baste often.
