Categories     Lamb

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 freedom (or other variety) plums (about 1 lb)
1 tablespoon Honey
1 jalapeno pepper,thinly sliced,including seeds
2 T sugar
1 1/2 1 1/2 t red-wine vinegar
2 t lime juice
2 racks of lamb (about 3 1/2 lb total)

Steps:

  • Quarter plums; remove pits. Combine plums, honey, jalapeno, sugar, vinegar, and lime juice in a small nonreactive saucepan. Cook over low heat until plums are very soft and juice is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes, If plums are not juicy, add water a little at a time during cooking to avoid scorching. Remove from heat, strain, and discard solids.
  • Heat grill or cast-iron grill pan. Season lamb well with salt and pepper and wrap bones with foil to prevent burning. Grill lamb fat side down for 5 minutes, brush with plum glaze, and turn over. Repeat glaz- ing every minute or so thereafter. For rare lamb, cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 135', 10 to 12 minutes; cook longer for medium or well, Let the meat rest for 10 minutes after grilling.
  • Toss Oven Dried Plums with some of the remaining glaze. Carve racks into chops. Serve 2 chops per person with the glazed plums; Garnish with sprigs of thyme.
