With the holiday season upon us, everyone is trying out new recipes to impress the family with. So why not try this beautiful leg of lamb served with a sweet homemade apricot sauce.

For the lamb, we’re keeping the flavours simple with garlic, salt and pepper. This way, the apricot flavour will really shine through. Lamb can easily become too rich, however, the sweet and fresh taste of the sauce will complement the lamb to perfection and the flavours will blend beautifully together.

Top it off with some apricot sauce

Apricots are a great source of antioxidants and vitamins, all of which may help protect our bodies against heart diseases. And because these stone fruits are quite high in vitamins A and E, they are beneficial for eye health too.

Another great benefit of eating apricots is that they are good for your skin! The amount of vitamin C and E they contain can help to protect the skin against UV damage and environmental factors (sun, pollution, cigarette smoke).

And with this recipe, you will be getting double the benefits apricots have to offer since you will be needing both dried apricots as well as jam to make the sauce. The added white wine vinegar enriches the taste of the sauce and thins the consistency. Furthermore, the honey will add to the delicious sweet taste of the apricot sauce while the juice of the lemon will make all the flavours pop.
