Source of Recipe

Jean Jacque Dartau


List of Ingredients

1 duckling (2 pounds)
salt and pepper

SAUCE:
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 ounces orange juice
16 ounces duck, beef or chicken stock
2 oranges, segmented


Recipe

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Begin by placing the duck breast side up on a baking rack. Season with the salt and pepper, and roast until the juices run barely pink, about 45 minutes. Remove the duckling from the pan and set it aside.
Degrease the pan drippings by skimming off the top layer. To prepare the sauce, combine the sugar and water and caramelize carefully. Add the wine, vinegar, and orange juice. Mix them well and reduce by half.

Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the pan drippings, reduce the heat and simmer until sauce reduces by half. Once sauce is done, strain it through a cheesecloth or fine strainer and set aside. To serve, place the duckling on a large serving tray. Add the orange segments on top and around the duck, and pour the sauce over the duck. Yield: 4 servings
