    Made this tonight and it was yummy. Kids and husband both thought it was ‘beautiful’!

      I’d say yes although the meat will be falling apart. I often cook mine for longer if I am not around til later but it does tend to fall apart!

  2. Hi all! My daughter loves honey and lamb so I made this (uber excited) but it turned out rather greasy (from the meat, I believe). Did anyone else have this problem.? The lamb was beautiful but the liquefied version of the honey and soy was dominated by the fat from the forequarter chops 🙁

    Any advice?

  3. My daughter and I loved the lamb but found the dish very greasy. The honey and soy were taken over by it. Did anyone else have the same problem? What could I do to reduce the amount of fat that is emitted by the lamb?

  4. This was such a yummy dish!! I cut most of the fat off the lamb before I put it in the SC. I also used tamari instead of soy (that’s all I had). . The meat was falling off the bone. Delicious!!!!

  5. I cooked this for dinner tonight. Made some changes to the recipe, because of what I had on hand, and it was excellent! Apart from the ingredient changes I made, I added some “smallish” chopped potatoes over the onion. Also trimmed the outer fat off the chops. Then I thickened the liquid with cornstarch mixed with water. Never thicken anything with flour. My digital slow cooker doesn’t have a high and low setting, so I just cooked it for 4 hrs. As I said, it was excellent. Thank you for the recipe…..Pamela

  6. Brilliant recipe, loved the extra lamb fat and rosemary ……if you trim off too much fat the dish does not have enough liquid…..this is definitely comfort food worth waiting for…

    Another easy great dish, I did cook for closer to 9 hours( got caught up) but still turned out delicious even though meat completely fell off bone. Didn’t have fresh rosemary so used dried and left it in. Yum

    Tried this yesterday using heavily trimmed of fat lamb forquarter chops. Instead of fresh Rosemary I used a teaspoon of dried. It was yummo. Will definitely be doing this again but with lean lamb shoulder, leg or steaks.

    I made this tonight using a mix of Lamb loin and neck chops. I cut most of the fat off the chops. I doubled the sauce and onions. I used normal soy sauce and 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary instead of fresh. I cooked the lamb on high for 2 hours then in low for a couple of hours till we needed it. I thickened the sauce with cornflour mixed with a little water. This lamb dish is delicious.

    I cooked this today. It was delicious.
    I did find that there was a lot of oil/fat from the chops. Next time I’ll cook it, cool it, then scrape the oil off.
    The meat was well cooked, just fell off the bones.
    Delicious.
