Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the lamb shoulder marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
• Letting the lamb rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover barbecued maple lamb shoulder can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the lamb in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until warmed through.
