Lord have mercy! These came out perfect! Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. I have to admit though: I had fresh rosemary and thyme on hand so I let a few sprigs simmer in the glaze. As well as a splash of red wine. Delish! I think this glaze would be great replacement for a port wine reduction as well. Say, on turkey tenderloins with fresh sage. Again, thank you for this fool-proof way to prepare and enjoy lamb.

The ONLY way I want my lamb now…
I made this for Fathers’s day….along with the Lobster Mac and Cheese and the Peach Cobbler Cheesecake…..wow, wow, wow! I’ve never cooked lamb before, but lamb chops are one of my dad’s favorite meals for special occasions, and with trying to stay home right now, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to try to surprise him! I am SO glad I did! The lamb itself was delicious, and the balsamic/brown sugar glaze just elevates the flavor even more! I absolutely saved all of the left over glaze to reuse in new meals this week.
I do wish there was a bit more instruction on cooking the lamb for a novice like me. I should’ve re-read recommended cooking times and the instructions on my new meat thermometer before getting started….by the time i was organized, the meat was done….I thought I may have more time since the cooking time estimates 30 minutes…I know realize that was primarily the glaze cooking time. You live and learn, and it was still 100% delicious!!!
TBH was a *bit* intimidated making lamb for the first time but omg Jocelyn made it SO easy and this recipe is incredible. New staple!!
Sis……. they were DELICIOUS my family loved them❣️
