5 to 6-pound leg of lamb
Salt and pepper
Puffy Mint Pears
Do not have the fell removed from the leg of lamb. Season. Place skin side down on rack in open roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so the bulb reaches the center of the thickest part of the leg, being sure the bulb does not rest in fat or on bone. Do not add water. Do not cover. Roast in a slow oven (300° F.) about 2½ to 3½ hours or until done. The meat thermometer will register 175° F. for medium done; 180° F. for well-done lamb. Allow 30 to 35 minutes per pound for roasting. Serve with Puffy Mint Pears.
