Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 Leg of lamb (5-6 lb)*
3/4 c Balsamic vinegar
1/3 c Mint jelly
1/3 c Minced fresh mint leaves
Fresh mint sprigs (opt)
Salt
Pepper
Small pocket bread**

* - boned and trimmed of surface fat
** - or regular pocket bread, cut in half crosswise
======================================================================
===
1. Lay meat boned side up. Slash about halfway through thickest
portions, as needed, and pull meat, patting cut edges down, to make
the piece relatively even.
2. Place lamb in a 9x13" pan. In a 1 1/2 quart pan over medium-high
heat, stir vinegar with 1/3 cup mint jelly just until boiling. Stir
in mint and pour evenly over lamb. Cover and chill 2 hours or up to a
day. Turn meat over occasionally.
3. On firegrate in a barbecue, with a lid, ignite 50-60 charcoal
briquets. When briquets are dotted with ash, in about 30 minutes,
spread them into a single layer; scatter 10-12 more briquets over
coals. Set grill 5-6" above coals. Lift meat onto grill; reserve
marinade. Put lid on barbecue and open vents.
4.Turn meat as needed to brown evenly; baste with marinade. Cook until
thickest part of meat is done to your liking; for rare (140' on a
thermometer) in center of thickest part, allow about 40 minutes total.
Thinner sections will be well done.
5. Transfer lamb to a platter and let rest 5-10 minutes. Garnish with
mint sprigs. Slice meat thin. Season to taste with mint jelly, salt,
and pepper. Eat with knife and fork or tuck into pocket bread.
