Total Time: 12 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 12 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup minced onion
• 1/2 cup minced green pepper
• 3 -6 tablespoons chili sauce
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 cups ketchup
• 1 cup water
• 3/4 cup worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup dark karo syrup
• 1/4 cup cayenne pepper sauce
• 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons fresh coarse ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 tablespoon liquid smoke (optional)
• 5 -7 lbs lamb butt or 5 -7 lbs lamb shoulder

Recipe

• 1 pour the oil into a large saucepan and set over medium-high heat.
• 2 toss in the onions and green peppers; stir.
• 3 season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until soft. add the garlic and cook for a minute more.
• 4 dump in everything else except the liquid smoke and the meat.
• 5 bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the sauce simmers.
• 6 simmer for 20 minutes,stirring often. stir in the liquid smoke and let the sauce cool.
• 7 pour it into a container, cover, and store in the fridge till ready to use.
• 8 carve away most of the fat on the meat.
• 9 put into a crock pot adding 1 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup cider vinegar (mixed).
• 10 cook on low setting for 10 hrs or overnight.
• 11 remove meat from crock pot, discarding liquid and "pull" it off the bones; using two table forks works well.
• 12 when the lamb is "pulled", return it to the crock pot; add two cups of the sauce you've prepared and mix well.
• 13 set the crock pot to "warm", and let stand for three or more hours.
• 14 check it often for a stir or maybe a little more sauce.
• 15 serve on rolls.
• 16 note- personally i would turn the crock up to high for about an hour of that time to give the meat a chance to brown and caramelize from the heat at the side of the pot.
