Recipe View Serve: Carve the rested leg of lamb and generously spoon the reduced raspberry sauce over the slices. Serve immediately.

For a richer sauce, consider adding a tablespoon of butter at the end of the reduction process.
If you don't have raspberry jam, substitute with another berry jam, such as strawberry or blackberry.
Ensure the lamb is fully thawed before marinating for best results.
Adjust roasting time based on the thickness of your lamb leg and your desired level of doneness.
Serve with roasted vegetables like asparagus or potatoes for a complete meal.
