As a variation, I marinated the lamb in olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Marinated for 30-45 minutes at room temperature before cooking. I also seared mine in a skillet at medium high heat and then put it in a 425 F oven to finish to desired doneness.
1.Preheat covered grill to medium high. Cut lamb racks in half, making two racks of 4 chops. To make a hole for the rosemary, insert metal skewer through center of each rack. Trim rosemary stalks of excess leaves, thread through lamb, leaving about a ? inch at the end so it can be easily pulled out. Brush rack generously with oil and season to taste.
2.Place lamb on the grill and brown on all sides, then pull down the cover and continue to cook on medium heat for 10-12 minutes for medium rare, or until lamb is cooked to preference.
3.If cooking indoors, preheat oven to 375?F. Heat oil in pan and sear lamb on all sides over high heat. Transfer to the oven and roast, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes.
4.Remove lamb from grill and cover loosely with foil. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, remove rosemary stalks and cut each lamb rack into 2-chop portions.
5.For the jam, place berries, wine, sugar, and pepper in a small saucepan and heat, mashing the berries, until mixture comes to a simmer. Cook over medium low heat about 15-20 minutes, until a jam consistency. Set aside. Jam can be served warm, or made a day ahead and served cold.

Family loved this. Made it for Easter dinner, used raspberries instead of blackberries just due to availability and came out fantastic. Would definitely make again.
