 This is another recipe I got in the States, probably from a supermarket or


 other (and no, I didn't go shopping on holiday!) but I can't remember which


 one. The recipe card is headed Goodings Words Worth Eating btw.


 


 Preheat the oven to 325. Cut 14 small slits into fat on the lamb. Insert


 slivers of garlic. Combine pepper, garlic salt and dry mustard. Rub over


 meat surface. Place lamb in flat baking pan. Top with orange peel. Bake


 uncovered for 30-35 minutes per pound or until a meat thermometer reaches


 175. Prepare glaze while lamb is baking; combine 4 glaze ingredients and


 heat for 3-5 minutes. Spoon glaze over lamb during last 30 minutes of


 baking time. Remove lamb from the oven, allow to sit in pan for 10-15


 minutes. Baste with pan juices. Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish


 platter with orange slices centred with a teaspoon of mint jelly.


 


 Serve with new potatoes and fresh peas or fresh asparagus. This glaze is


 also delicious on broiled lamb chops.
