Slow Cooker Mint Glazed Lamb
Mint and lamb are a natural fit and this super easy ONLY 5 INGREDIENTS leg of lamb recipe for the crockpot slow cooker is one of the best lamb recipes you will ever use.
Seriously. I have served this to INSANELY picky people and they love it. Like super love it.
Also? This is a good sauce/glaze mixture for other "gamey" meat -- like venison.
In case you were wondering. ;-)
I have new and exciting lamb for you. Lamb so good you're going to want to test it out EVEN THOUGH you already love your tried-and-true "but everybody already loves my lamb" recipe.
I know.
change is hard.
We're all in this together. (insert High School Musical soundtrack)

Slow Cooker Mint Glazed Lamb
The Ingredients.
The Ingredients.
serves 6-8
(ha. that sticky note has the words "mint-glazed leg of lamb" on it. I probably should have taken that off before I shot the photo. oops.)
1 onion, sliced in rings
4 to 5 pound boneless leg of lamb
1/3 cup prepared mint jelly
3 sprigs fresh mint leaves (about 10)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Separate the onion rings with your fingers and place in the bottom of your cooker.
Put the meat on top. I
n a small mixing bowl, combine the mint jelly, fresh mint, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Smear this mixture on all sides of the meat.
Cover, and cook on low for 7 hours, or until the lamb is fully cooked and begins to relax and lose it’s shape.

Serve with mashed potatoes and a spoonful of accumulated gravy (you can thicken the gravy by making a cornstarch slurry: 1 tablespoon cornstarch whisked into 2 tablespoons cold water).
The Verdict.
I have always shied away from mint jelly—it looks like lime jello to me, and I couldn’t figure out why lamb was supposed to be paired with something that smelled like Doublemint gum
until I tried this!
Lamb and mint are meant to go together!
This sweet, salty, and minty glaze can not be beat. It really is a good combination-- good enough to make me want to CHANGE our normal Easter Lamb recipe for keeps.
