the overall cooking time by 20 to 30 minutes.

NOTES:

Spoon over the juices from the joint at least 2 to 3 times during cooking.

Is it ready?

Skewer your meat or insert a sharp knife into the thickest part:

Pink juices = medium.

Clear juices = well done.

Rest:

Allow the joint to stand for 20 to 30 minutes after removing it from the oven, and before

carving.
