4 garlic cloves, sliced thin
4 tsp. (20 mL) brown sugar*
1/4 cup (60 mL) maple syrup*
1 big orange, juice and grated zest

Pepper to taste
1 cup (250 mL) warm water

Preparation

Bone, trim and tie up leg of lamb.
Make incisions in lamb and slip sliced garlic into them.
In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients, except water, together.
In a roasting pan, place lamb and smear all over with marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, basting meat occasionally.
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
Roast lamb in marinade, uncovered for 30 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325°F (160°C). Add water and cover meat with foil.
Roast another 2-2 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 140°F (60°C).
Let lamb stand 10 minutes before carving.

To check when lamb is cooked, use a meat thermometer.
Lamb tastes best when the internal temperature registers 140ºF (60ºC) for medium-rare, or 149ºF (65ºC) for medium.
