Place meat in a dish. Add stock to just cover. Return bones to pot; simmer until very flavorful, about 1 hour. Pass stock through a cheesclothe lined strainer and discard solids. In a clean saucepan, return stock to a boil. Reduce heat so stock is at a bare simmer. Add apricots and pineapple and poach until tender, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove fruit; season with salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon tarragon. Raise heat to high, cook stock until reduced to 1/3 cup, 45 minutes. Reduce heat to low; whisk in mustard, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and tarragon and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Divide lettuce among four plates. Slice chicken, place on greens. Pour mustard sauce over chicken and serve with reserved apricot and pineapple mixture. Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #197 Date: Mon, 12 Aug 1996 22:21:44 -0800 From: Kristine <ksimpson@cwo.com>
