Ingredients

• ½ cup good-quality apricot jam (we love Bonne Maman brand)

• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Herbes De Provence
• Juice from one fresh lime, about 2 tablespoons
