Steps:
- Make 16 small slits, each about 1/2 inch wide and 1 inch deep, over surface of lamb. Insert 1 garlic and 1 rosemary piece in each slit using tip of knife. Place lamb in large resealable food-storage plastic bag or shallow glass or plastic dish.
- Mix reserved apricot syrup, the wine, oil, 1 tablespoon of the honey and the salt; pour over lamb. Seal bag or cover dish and refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours, turning lamb occasionally.
- Heat oven to 325°F. Remove lamb from marinade; reserve marinade. Place lamb, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of lamb and does not touch bone or rest in fat.
- Bake uncovered about 2 hours, brushing once or twice with marinade, until thermometer reads 140°F. Cover lamb loosely with foil and let stand 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°, and lamb will be easier to carve.) Reserve 1/4 cup marinade; discard any remaining marinade. Garnish with additional apricot halves and fresh rosemary leaves if desired.
- Meanwhile, place apricots in food processor or blender. Cover and process until smooth. In 1-quart saucepan, heat apricots, 1/4 cup marinade, remaining 1 tablespoon honey and the chopped rosemary. Heat to boiling. Boil 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce with lamb.

Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
- To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
- If you don't have dried apricots, you can use fresh apricots. Just chop them into small pieces before adding them to the dough.
- Be careful not to overproof the dough. It should be doubled in size, but not more than that.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
- Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
This rosemary and apricot French loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. The rosemary gives the bread a savory flavor, while the apricots add a touch of sweetness. This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating plain.
