Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub 3 lbs kangaroo shoulder roast with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp ground black pepper evenly.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp crushed dried native pepperberries, 2 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary to create the glaze.
3. Step 3: Place the roast in a roasting pan and pour 1 cup water around it to maintain moisture during cooking.
4. Step 4: Brush half of the pepperberry glaze over the roast, then cover loosely with foil and roast for 3 hours, basting every 45 minutes with remaining glaze.
5. Step 5: Remove foil during the last 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize and form a flavorful crust.
6. Step 6: Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing thinly and serving with roasted root vegetables or mashed potatoes.
