Ingredients

Lamb Chops

Rhubarb Marmalade

  • 2 cups rhubarb, sliced thin
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup citrus vinegar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 juice and zest of 1 orange

Fruit Salsa

  • 1 cup cherries, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup peaches, peeled and chopped
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • pinch of chipotle powder

Instructions

Lamb Chops

  • In a bowl, combine the salt, honey granules, and Smoked Maple Sriracha seasoning.
  • Evenly sprinkle the rub over the rack of lamb. Cover and allow to sit in the refrigerator for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place lamb in a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the rack of lamb over, and cook for 5 additional minutes, or until your desired doneness.
  • Removed from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice into lollipops and brush each chop with the rhubarb marmalade.
  • Serve on top of the fruit salsa.

Rhubarb Marmalade

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a stock pot on medium-low heat.
  • Allow to simmer and the rhubarb to soften and begin to slump down, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Once the rhubarb begins to get soft and the sauce thickens, take a potato masher and mash the rhubarb.
  • Allow the rhubarb to cook more and the sauce to thicken and get sticky, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat.

Fruit Salsa

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
  • Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes. The longer it sits, the more juices will come out of the fruit.

Cook time depends on the size of your rack of lamb, and your desired doneness. Here is a guide for lamb.
