Roast Duck In Fruit Sauce is a mouth watering recipe that is relatively simple to prepare- except for cleaning the ducks. Major TIME saving hint: Get pre-roasted unseasoned ducks from your butcher and then braise them in the sauce.
One of my favorite gourmet food experiences was eating duck at La Grenouille-one of my parents’ favorite restaurants in NYC. They were always greeted warmly at the door and given their favorite table in the front of the restaurant. On special occasions, my brother and I used to join them. I loved the way the sliced breast of duck was prepared. The skin was so crisp and the duck meat was oozing with flavor from either the orange or berry sauce that they were serving that night. What a special treat it was! That Roast Duck In Fruit Sauce is a food memory that I knew I had to reproduce in my Kosher kitchen. Roast Duck in Orange Sauce is another of my favorites!
Hint: Frozen fruit works perfectly in this recipe and saves time. You can always garnish with fresh fruit before serving.
Prep time for cleaning ducks-endless. Ask the butcher to at least clean them for you if you don’t want to buy them pre-roasted.
Prep time for sauce: 15 minutes
Braising time after the ducks are roasted: 45 minutes
