Suzie's Tips ... Delicious Food and Keeping it Safe

If the phrase "Spring Lamb" is on a meat label, it means the lamb was produced between March and October, but lamb is available all the time. A lamb weighs about 120 pounds and yields approximately 60 to 72 pounds of retail lamb cuts, which include bone and fat. Mutton is meat from sheep more than a year old. It is likely to be less tender than lamb and have a stronger flavor. Get the mint jelly ready. Here we go! Thanks for taking the time to read my food blog. Hope you're eating well and eating safely.
