    Method

    1. Mix together the herbs, garlic, lemon juice, mustard and oil; season. Rub this all over the lamb, then put in a roasting tin and leave to come to room temperature before cooking.

    2. Preheat the oven to 180˚C, gas mark 4. Roast the lamb for about 50 minutes for medium, or 1 hour-1 hour 10 minutes for well done. Cover with foil if it’s browning too quickly.

    3. Remove from the oven, lift onto a carving board and rest for 20 minutes, loosely covered with foil. Tip the juices from the roasting tin into a small pan and add the port and jelly. Bring to the boil, then bubble until the sauce is syrupy. Finish by whisking in the butter; season and serve with the lamb
