As much as I enjoy Lamb, I am not a fan of the traditional roasted lamb or Mint Jelly for that matter. I tried this recipe a couple of years back when I was unable to be with my family for Easter and like it so much better. Feel free to play around with the stuffing ingredients, that's half the fun. I've added Rosemary, chopped olives, feta cheese, and a little Panko Bread crumbs to the mix. It has definitely turned out to be a favorite way to prepare leg of lamb.

I wanted to continue the tradition with my own daughter but needless to say I haven't pulled it off yet. (She's only two, I still have time...lol.) However, when I saw these cookies in Cooking Light, I thought this would be more fun for her decorating her own cookies. The recipe is a good one as it's not loaded with sugar like most cookie recipes. A great Easter break project for the kids.

(It's so good, in fact, that I question the yield of 6 servings; I think 4 to 6 would be more accurate.) For a simply satisfying lunch or dinner, serve this with a tossed green salad and a crusty baguette; dessert might be a scoop of store-bought orange sorbet topped with a few fresh raspberries. Many upscale supermarkets now sell fromage blanc in the cheese department, but feta or goat cheese is a fine alternative. Likewise, if Yukon golds and leeks are missing from your pantry, substitute red or white new potatoes and a few green onions--it's all good.

Just delicious fresh fruits, and a simple crumb topping. This recipe is a good example of just how simple the crumble is to make. I've used frozen berries in this recipe before when good fresh ones were unavailable and I've also tried making it with just berries omitting the apples. Either way it's very good.
