Easter is coming and lamb is pretty traditional. Below is mom’s recipe for Leg of Lamb. The sauce is amazing. Instead of having to decipher the written it is typed out below. I hope some of you try the sauce, it is great on more than lamb.

Lamb sauce


1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon prepared mustard (yellow mustard)
1/2 teaspoon sweet basil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup water

Blend sugar, cornstarch, salt, sweet basil, add mustard, lemon juice and water, stir well
Cook over medium heat until thickened, stir while heating
Brush over lamb last 30 minutes
Serve as sauce.

My Mama used to cook a rack of lamb for Easter and other special occasions. I never did care for it but according to the rest of the family, it was terrific.

That sauce of yours, though, looks worth figuring out what else you could use it on. My mind immediately went toward fish.

Lamb is one thing I've never been able to develop a taste for and it's not commonly available here.

I appreciate the posting but like Princiss & Wooley I never developed a taste for lamb. Might be partly due to the fact I had wrestle the nasty little creatures into the truck to go to market.

The sauce does sound interesting. what have you used it with?

I like it too BUT their pricing is what kills it for me (loin chops being $16/lb CDN

Costco has boneless leg of lamb at very good prices. I have never made a leg of lamb but we eat lamb chops all the time. We like them. Nice and small but very thick. One each with sides and that is satisfying.
It tastes just like beef steak to me. And it is very tender.

Like you, I don't think I could enjoy anything at those prices.
