Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Blend jam ingredients, excluding caster sugar, into a smooth purée using a food processor.
  • Melt sugar in a saucepan over low-medium heat until it becomes a golden-brown caramel.
  • Stir the purée into the caramel, boil, then simmer for 4 minutes until sticky.
  • Sear the seasoned lamb loin in a hot oven-proof pan until coloured, then roast for 10 minutes.
  • Baste the lamb with 2 tablespoons of jam and rest for 5 minutes.
  • Dissolve sugar and salt in vinegar and 110ml water over heat.
  • Pour the hot liquid over the vegetables, soak for 10 minutes, and drain.
  • Slice the lamb and serve with vegetables, garnish, and extra jam.
