I really like supporting my local farms. You get to know the farmer, it's a superior product, and you are keeping your dollars local when you shop local. To me it's always a "win-win" and you simply can't beat the freshness when you support local. Think about it for just a moment; the lamb we enjoy came from a "local to me" farm, Old McCaskill's Farm.
When the lamb goes to the processor, it's just a matter of days before it's back to the farmer to sell, which means it's not months old! In this instance, the lamb was raised on pasture with no antibiotics or hormones, and I will happily support those farms doing it right for you and me.
Tonight we grilled a Rack of Lamb using a blend of our Garlic-Onion Jelly and Apple-Mint Jelly as a basting sauce! Let me tell you, it was amazing!!!
Ingredients
