13. Cook – 350- 3 hrs- or as desired. I like mine a little red and don’t forget to baste the meat with the drippings

Gravy- For dressing you can use all the drippings of the lamb. Add a can of chicken broth. Simmer to reduce- add a shallot and some garlic, Salt and Pepper to taste. As it simmers take a bowl with 1 cup of cold water and add 1 heaping tablespoon of flour. Mix it with a beater and when the mix is smooth add to the simmering gravy. Let it reduce and thicken to a creamy consistency
