Like another reviewer, I had trouble finding the plum sauce and plum preserves (comes from living in a small town?. I substituted a fresh homemade nectarine puree and apricot preserves. The result was wonderful! I also marinated the lamb in a dry rub several hours prior to cooking, which added to the flavor.

This was the first time that I made lamb at home and it was awesome! the recipe was easy to follow and the result was better than I expected. I added chopped rosemary to the potatoes but the plum sauce was such a nice twist in the overall flavor profile and provided a very nice complexity to the total dish. I would recommend this recipe to anyone from novice to experienced cooks and I will be making it again for friends and family!
