Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix apricot jam, ginger, vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Pat lamb dry. Toss with half the glaze and let sit while you thread skewers.

  3. Step 3

    Thread lamb cubes and dried apricots alternately onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.

  4. Step 4

    Heat grill or broiler to high. Brush skewers with remaining glaze.

  5. Step 5

    Grill or broil 10–12 minutes, rotating every 3 minutes, until edges char and lamb reaches 135°F internal temp.

  6. Step 6

    Rest 2 minutes. Drizzle with any pan juices and serve hot.

Tools you’ll need
