Method:
1. In a heavy saucepan, combine the apricots and water.

tender and the liquid is reduced by half.
3. In a separate sauté pan, melt the butter, and sauté the shallots until softened but not brown.

mustard, honey, salt, and white pepper and puree until smooth.
5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and bring to simmer.
6. Simmer uncovered 8-10 minutes or until thickened. (Glaze can be cooled and stored in the
refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.)
7. Marinate the boar chops in a cup of the glaze for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
8. Preheat grill to 375°F.
9. Lift chops from marinade and drain briefly, reserving the marinade for later.
9. Place chops on a lightly greased grill 4-6 inches above a solid bed of medium coals.
10. Cook, brushing occasionally with marinade, and turning once, until meat near bone is no longer
pink, about 4-5 minutes per side.
11. Serve the chops with mashed potatoes, grilled veggies or rice. Garnish with more glaze, green
onions and sesame seeds.
