Swedish Roast Leg of Lamb

4 - 5 lb. leg of lamb
1 C beef broth
1 C strong dark roast coffee
1/4 C cream
1 T sugar
6 carrots, sliced
6 small onions, sliced
salt and fresh ground white pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 450°. Trim the meat, wipe it with a cloth, then rub with salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes until nicely browned on all sides. Reduce the heat to 375°, add the carrots, onions, broth, coffee, cream and sugar, and roast for an additional hour, or until done, basting occasionally.

Transfer the lamb to a platter. Strain the gravy, and serve.
