Trim fat from meat. Using a paring knife, cut 1/2-inch-wide pockets about 1 inch deep in the meat at 1-inch intervals. (These pockets allow flavors to better penetrate the meat.) Place meat, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Season lamb with lemon-pepper seasoning. Pull small bunches of leaves from the rosemary sprig. Push slivers of garlic and rosemary leaves into the pockets in the meat. Insert a meat thermometer in thickest portion of meat. Roast lamb, uncovered, in preheated oven for 2 to 2 1/4 hours or until meat thermometer registers 140 degrees for medium-rare doneness or 155 degrees for medium doneness. Cover and let stand 15 minutes before carving. (The meat's temperature will rise 5 degrees during standing time.) Meanwhile, prepare sauce: In a medium saucepan, cook shallots in 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in preserves until melted. Stir in wine. Bring to boiling. Boil gently, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until slightly thickened and reduced to 1 1/3 cups. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon peel, salt and pepper. Serve warm sauce with lamb.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
