DUCK BREASTS WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE
This is from a local cooking class that I took. The fruity, slightly tart sauce really complements the rich flavor of the duck breast. Use the rendered duck fat to fry some tiny new potatoes for a decadent dish worthy of a dinner party.

Steps:
- Score the skin of the duck breasts, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season with salt and pepper on both sides, then place into a cold skillet, skin side down.
- Turn on the flame to medium-low, and slowly cook the duck until much of the fat has rendered out, and the skin begins to get crispy. (It will not be fully cooked at this point).
- Remove most of the rendered fat from the pan, and reserve for another use. Set the duck aside while the sauce cooks.
- In another small pan, combine the raspberries, cinnamon, sugar, vinegar, and water. Cook over medium low heat until the berries are soft and the sugar has dissolved. Place in a blender and puree until smooth.Return the duck to medium low heat, this time skin side up. Continue to cook until the meat reaches your desired degree of doneness (I cook it to medium rare).
- Let the duck rest for 5 minutes, then place on serving dishes and drizzle with the raspberry sauce.
DUCK WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Cut the duck skin (like tic tac toe). Cook duck on its skin in a saute pan ( low-medium heat )for about 20 minutes, until skin is crisp. Turn over and continue cooking 5 or 7 minutes more according to taste (rare, medium rare, etc.)
- Remove fat from saute pan, add orange juice and 1 cup of frozen raspberries. Cook and let reduce until sauce becomes smooth. Strain, add butter, salt and pepper to taste. Slice duck, garnish with wild rice, vegetable of your choice and decorate with a few fresh raspberries.
PAN-SEARED DUCK BREASTS WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck breasts and sear for 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes longer. Turn the duck over and cook for 3 minutes. Cover the pan and cook until the duck is tender and still pink in the center, about 4 minutes longer. Remove the duck from the pan, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
- Add the vinegar to the skillet and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add two-thirds cup of the raspberries and the orange sections and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the cream, remaining salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1 minute.
- Cut the duck into thin slices and fan them out onto four plates. Spoon the sauce over the duck, garnish with the remaining raspberries and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Season the duck breast with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Brown the duck breast, skin side first, then flip over, reduce heat and cook other side, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the duck breasts to a platter, reserving the juices in the pan. Work in batches, if necessary.
- To make the sauce, add the balsamic vinegar and red wine to the pan and cook until reduced by half. Add the stock and reduce by half again, then add brown sugar, rosemary and berries and cook for 3 minutes. Strain into a bowl and whisk in the butter to finish. Place the duck breast on each plate and drizzle the sauce around.
Tips:
- To ensure the duck breasts are cooked evenly, use a sharp knife to score the skin in a diamond pattern, but be careful not to cut into the meat.
- Sear the duck breasts in a hot pan with the skin side down first. This will help render the fat and crisp up the skin.
- Roast the duck breasts in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- Let the duck breasts rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- To make the raspberry sauce, simply combine fresh or frozen raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened.
- Serve the duck breasts with the raspberry sauce and your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, asparagus, or a green salad.
Conclusion:
Duck breasts with raspberry sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The duck breasts are cooked to perfection and the raspberry sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
