Steps:
- Prepare the lamb: Stir together mustard, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush mixture all over lamb. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag, and refrigerate at least 6 hours (or up to overnight).
- Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: Whisk together jelly, vinegar, and the water in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in mint.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring lamb to room temperature. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 125 to 130 degrees for medium-rare, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes.
- Just before serving, cut lamb racks into individual chops. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serve with dipping sauce.

Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag, and refrigerate at least 6 hours (or up to overnight). Step 2 Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: Whisk together jelly, vinegar, and the water in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in mint. (Sauce can be refrigerated, covered, up to 6 hours before serving.) Step 3 Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring lamb to room temperature. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 125 to 130 degrees for medium-rare, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes. Step 4 Just before serving, cut lamb racks into individual chops. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serve with dipping sauce. Rather than serving all the lamb chops at once, leave the second rack loosely tented with foil to leave them warm and juicy. Refill the platter as needed, cutting from the rack just beforehand.
