     Well, the first frost of the season made it out of Doug's
homeland and into Leavenworth, but not quite far enough
south to hit my chile patch in KCK.  Assuming it was an 
act of Doug that it stopped short, and not a failed attempt
to end my season prematurely (we're all friends here, right?)
I hereby post this recipe, from last night's dinner in Doug's 
honor:

     Apricot Glazed Rack of Lamb

1 rack of lamb (not old, tough mutton)
1 cup apricot preserves
1 cup water
5 cloves garlic, minced
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt/pepper
butter
paprika (I used Kaloska)
2 thick Keriting-type chiles, seeded, stemmed, minced
2 thin Keriting-type chiles, seeded, stemmed, minced

Rub rack of lamb with salt, pepper and paprika, roast in
325 deg. oven for 1 hour or until internal temp hits 140 deg.

Disolve apricot preserves in water.  Add garlic, lemon juice,
butter and chiles.   Simmer to cook down some of the liquid.
Brush on rack of lamb and cook in oven to desired doneness.
160 deg. F  = medium

The sweetness of the preserves mitigates quite a bit of the 
heat, but lets the flavor of the chiles through nicely, IMHO.
As always, substitutions are allowed.  Encouraged, even.

Cheers,

Scott... KCK
