Plum & thyme glazed lamb

Method

• 1
  Preheat an enclosed barbecue to 200°C. Place a wire rack in a foil barbecue tray.

  Combine the jam, orange juice, mustard and thyme in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the jam melts and the mixture is well combined.
• 3
  Place lamb on the wire rack. Brush with the jam mixture, reserving one-third of the mixture for basting. Insert a meat thermometer, if using.
• 4
  Place the tray in the centre of the barbecue. Switch off the burners located under the tray and switch the burners on either side to low. Close the barbecue.
• 5
  Roast, brushing every half hour with the reserved jam mixture, for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat thermometer reads medium or until lamb is cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
