2 tablespoons chopped parsley

2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

1 clove garlic, minced

1⁄2 cup honey

2 tablespoons lemon juice

3. In another small bowl, mix together honey and lemon juice.

Ingredients

1 pound lamb stew meat or ground lamb

1⁄2 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon lamb seasoning, such as Penzeys

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 1⁄2 cups whole milk

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

6 to 8 potatoes, scrubbed, peeled, and cubed

2 tablespoons butter

Directions

1. If using stew meat, place it in a large skillet, along with onion; cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until meat is tender. If using ground lamb, place it in a skillet with onion, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.

2. Increase heat to medium. Stir in garlic, flour, lamb seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until mixture boils and thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

3. While gravy cooks, boil potatoes until tender in a large pot of salted water. Drain potatoes well. Add butter, and mash with a potato masher. Stir in a little additional milk, until potatoes reach desired consistency.

4. Serve gravy over potatoes.

Ingredients

1 box (2 ounces) lemon gelatin

1 cup boiling water

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk, well-chilled

2 to 3 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 stick butter, melted

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine gelatin and boiling water, stirring until dissolved. Refrigerate until slightly thickened.

2. Using a blender, cream together cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice. Add thickened gelatin, and blend to combine.

3. Using chilled beaters and a chilled bowl, whip evaporated milk until stiff. Gently, so you don’t deflate the whipped evaporated milk, fold in gelatin mixture.

4. In a large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and butter. Reserve some crumbs for the top, if desired, and press the remaining crumbs onto the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-by-12-by-2-inch baking pan.

5. Spread filling mixture over crumb crust, and sprinkle reserved crumbs over the top, if using.

6. Chill overnight. Serve plain or topped with cherries, strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.

NOTE: For best results, freeze the beaters, as well as the bowl you’re going to use to whip the evaporated milk, overnight. The colder the beaters, bowl, and milk, the better it will whip.
