Method
Marinate the boar for 1-2 hours turning frequently to get well coated.
Remove boar from marinade and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F/200°C/gas mark 6 for 1-1½ hours. Allow to rest before slicing.
To make the sauce put demi-glace into a saucepan and reduce by half. Add brandy and prune juice. It may need reducing further at this stage - it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the prunes and the butter just before serving.
Serve boar with braised red cabbage duchesse potatoes and sauce.
