Steps

  1. To prepare the stuffing, melt the butter and honey over low heat, add the other ingredients, and combine well.
  2. Force the stuffing into the cavity in the meat, and sew it up with fine string.
  3. Combine all marinade ingredients.
  4. Place the leg into a plastic bag in a large bowl, and add the marinade mixture to the bag. Let marinate for 8 hours.
  5. Bake mutton in oven at 180 °C for 2 hours, checking on progress at 90 minutes. If the meat looks like it is over-browning, it can be covered by foil.
  6. Remove the string before carving.
  7. Strain the marinade and use 3–4 tablespoons of the liquor to make gravy.
