  * Dried Plums are more commonly known as "prunes" - UDD

  Place lamb, salt, pepper, and flour in a large mixing bowl. Toss to
  coat meat evenly.

  Heat olive oil in a large pan and brown the meat, working in
  batches if you have to.

  Remove lamb to a side plate. Pour off fat, leaving 1/4 cup in the
  pan. Add the garlic and onion and saute until the onion becomes
  golden. Deglaze frying pan with the 1/2 cup water, taking care to
  scrape the bottom of the pan to stir up all of the tasty bits of
  meat and onion. Cook to reduce liquid slightly, then remove from
  heat.

  Place the lamb and garlic-onion mixture in a large stockpot. Add
  beef stock and sugar, stirring until sugars are dissolved. Bring
  mixture to a boil, cover, and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.

  Add the vegetables, dried plums, herbs, and ginger ale to the pot.
  Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, or until meat and vegetables pierce
  easily with a fork.
