Directions:
- Starting 2-3 days BEFORE cooking, purchase spring lamb.
- At Easter time, it's a good idea to order it from a butcher in advance.
- Have the butcher take the bone out AND remove the gland, but tell him NOT to tie it.
- Ask for the string so you can tie it at home after marinating.
- At home, rub the lamb well, inside and out with the combined marinating ingredients.
- Roll up lengthwise and use the butcher's string to tie it up by tying lengths of string every 2-3 inches.
- Marinate the lamb for two days before cooking.
- On the day of cooking, plan on 2 hours of roasting time.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place lamb in roasting pan and roast (uncovered) for 20 minutes and then reduce heat to 250°F and continue baking for about 1 1/2 hours.
- Meat thermometer should reach 140°F.
- Remove lamb from oven and let rest, covered in foil, while making gravy.
- Make one quart of brown gravy using a good quality beef base and diluting it with 3 1/2 cups hot water.
- Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and thicken with roux.
- Add the sherry and butter, whisking to blend well.
- Season with salt and pepper and stir in the mint jelly, stirring until melted.
- Serve with lamb.
- For roux: Melt 4 tbsp butter in saucepan over medium heat, and add 4 tbsp flour.
- Stir constantly with wooden spoon about 1 minute.
- Remove from heat.
- (See roux search if you need further details).
