Place orange juice, cranberries, sugar, flour, Dijon mustard, grated orange peel, and allspice in large glass measuring cup. Cook on high power in microwave for 6 minutes or until it comes to a boil, stirring twice. Pour sauce over lamb. May freeze at this time.

To cook; cook on medium high power for 5 minutes.

To cook from freezer: cook on defrost for 10 minutes. Then cook on medium high power for 15 minutes. Stir once, halfway through cooking time. Let stand covered 5 minutes.
