| Prep time | 30 minutes |
| 1 | leg of lamb (about 5 Lbs. after trimming) | |
| 1 | Teaspoon | garlic powder |
| 2 | Teaspoon | salt |
| 1⁄2 | Teaspoon | each pepper, thyme, rosemary and marjoram |
| 2⁄3 | Cup | currant jelly (FOR CURRANT- MINT SAUCE) |
| 2 | Tablespoon | orange rind (grated) |
| 1⁄2 | Cup | mint leaves (fresh and chopped) |
Mix together garlic powder, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary and marjoram. Place on sheet of wax paper, moisten roast with small amount of water and roll in the spices. Pressing firmly, place roast on a rack in a shallow pan, fat side up. Roast uncovered in preheated oven at 325° for about 3 1/2 hours. Serve hot with mint sauce. To make sauce, break jelly into small pieces with a fork, add orange rind and mint leaves. Blend well.
Ask your butcher to debone your roast and then have him rewrap the meat around the bone. Great for slicing after roast is done!
