Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• 7 large lemons, cut in 1/8ths
• 2 cups sugar
• 8 cups water
• 750 ml ketchup
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups soy sauce
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 teaspoons oregano
• 3 teaspoons paprika
• 3 teaspoons chili powder
• 3 teaspoons dried onion flakes

• 2 cups breadcrumbs

Recipe

• 1 in batches in food processor combine lemons, sugar and just enough water to make a slurry. in a large container combine the slurry with the rest of the water. strain the mixture and you should end up with 8 cups of the best lemonade you ever tasted.
• 2 combine all other ingredients and the lemonade. simmer for 2 hours and use immediately or set aside in fridge for later use.
• 3 this amount covers 18 large lamb chops in a full sized roasting pan, so adjust amounts according to requirements.
• 4 when i made the lamb chops, this did 18 large (costco) bone in double loin chops. i just tossed them in bread crumbs and quickly browned them in a skillet. then they are stacked overlapping in a deep roasting pan and covered with the sauce. cover the roaster with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. place in a preheated oven at 350f and cook for 2 hours or until the chops are easy to pull apart. at the 1 hour mark, rearrange the chops so the top ones spend some time completely covered in sauce.
