Try this then:-

It is what I am cooking tommorow evening.

Roast Leg Lamb with Cumberland Rum Butter and CumberlandSauce

Temperature: Gas Mark 4-5, 180°C, 350°F. Serves: 4 - 6
Cooking Time: 87 - 105 mins
Cooking Time Detail: Medium - 25 minutes per 450g/½kg (1lb) plus 25 minutes
Well Done - 30 minutes per 450g/½kg (1lb) plus 30 minutes

Ingredients
1.25kg (2½lb) lean leg lamb joint
100g (4oz) butter (softened)
25g (1oz) castor sugar
2 pinches nutmeg
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of ½ lemon
30ml (2tbsp) rum

For CumberlandSauce
2 red onions (sliced)
150ml (¼pt) rum
30ml (2tbsp) redcurrant jelly
Orange zest and juice
5ml (1tsp) Worcestershire sauce

Method
Take a lean lamb leg joint and calculate cooking time. Place on a rack in a roasting tin and open roast in a preheated oven for the calculated cooking time. Meanwhile make the rum butter: in a bowl mix together the butter, castor sugar, nutmeg, lemon zest and juice and rum. During the last 30 minutes of cooking time spread the butter over the lamb and return to the oven.

While the lamb is cooking make the sauce. In a pan soften the red onions for 5-6 minutes. Add the rum, redcurrant jelly, zest and juice of 1 orange and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened.

Hopefully I will get it right. I am changing it a wee bit as I think I have a better recipe for the Cumberland Sauce. It includes Grand Marnier but I changed that to Cointreau instead.

Yes I am male.

The Rum Butter intrigues a little.
