Ingredients
- 1.25kg lean lamb leg joint
- 2 tablespoons muscovado sugar
- 1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 plums, stoned and diced
- 1 eating apple, cored and cut into chunks
- 150ml cider
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180-190°C, 160-170°C Fan, Gas Mark 4-5.
- Calculate the cooking time of the joint and place onto a rack in a roasting tin. Mix together 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon then rub over the surface of the joint.
- Open roast in a preheated oven for the preferred, calculated cooking time.
- Meanwhile make the chutney. Place the plums and apple into a pan. Add the the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Bring to the boil and simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes until the fruit is soft and most of the cider evaporated.
- Serve the lamb with the chutney, seasonal vegetables and roast or new potatoes.
