Place in pan. Break warm peppers and garlic cloves in half if you like and secure at random over lamb with toothpicks. Cover meat with barbecue sauce and place in covered roaster. Cook at 300 for about 2-1/2 hrs, basting once an hour with pan drippings. When basting, cover lamb again with barbecue sauce. Do the preparing and initial cooking 1 day before serving. Leave lamb in oven overnight. Be sure to turn oven off, however. Next day, follow the same cooking procedure, basting as before and cook another 2-1/2 hrs. Make gravy from pan drippings and serve with mint jelly.
