1 tb Vegetable oil 2/3 c Granulated sugar
2 ts Dried mint 1/4 c Lemon juice; fresh
1 ts Lemon zest; grated Salt

Use fresh or frozen, short-cut, leg of lamb. If using frozen, thaw in

325F(160C) and continue roasting for about 1 hour and 15 minutes
longer or until internal temperature is 130F(54C) to 140F(60C) on
