For the marinade:
- Combine the ingredients and set aside while you prepare the meat and the stuffing.
-
For the stuffing:
- Melt the butter and honey over low heat, add the other ingredients and combine well.
- Force the stuffing into the cavity in the meat, and sew it up with fine string.
- Place the leg into a large oven baking bag sitting in a baking dish large enough for the lamb, and then add the marinade mixture.
- The meat is best prepared early in the morning.
- Tend it all day, regularly turning it over in the marinade throughout the day.
- Cook at 350 F (180 C) for two hours but check on the progress at 90 minutes.
- If you don't have an oven bag, just place it in the roasting pan as you normally would but if the meat looks like it may be over browning, it can be covered by foil.
- Remove the string before carving.
- Strain the marinade and use three or four tablespoons of the liquor to make gravy.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Ami and I share my home with my husband, Carey, our two small sons, James and Charles and our daughters Meradydd (it's pronounced Meradith)and Kathrynn. Until recently, I was a Specialist in the National Guard. I'm pretty eclectic in my studies and I've learned a lot becuase of that since I don't limit myself. Right now I'm taking classes for animal care. I've also been studying a lot about herbalism and really enjoy learning about that. My mother and I also run a home based business for natural soap, balms, etc. We use only the most the natural ingredients available. I'm also a Mary Kay consultant. Busy, huh? :D I love to read and learn new things. My husband says our books will be the death of us. LOL. I love to cook and experiment. I also like to take walks, rain or not.
