BALSAMIC, ORANGE, HONEY, MAPLE SYRUP GLAZED DUCK

Categories     Duck     Roast

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (4.5 lb) duck
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup honey
1/8 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
10g garlic
1/4 cup orange liqueur or 1/4 cup port wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375f. Mix all the ingredients (except the duck!) together in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes. Reserve 1/4 of the glaze. Sit the duck on a rack over a baking dish, baste and place in oven. Baste the duck every 10 minutes throughout the cooking process with remaining 3/4 of glaze. A 4.5 lb duck should take about 1 hour 15 minutes to cook, but give one of his legs a pull, and if it moves freely and any juices run clear, your duck will be cooked. Place on a serving platter brush with reserved glaze and serve. Pass any remaining reserved glaze to be spooned over carved duck.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 wild duck
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ginger
2 c orange juice
1 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp currant jelly

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 2. Rub cleaned duck with mix of salt, pepper, paprika and ginger.
  • 3. Place in roasting pan (on a rack) and bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour.
  • 4. Drain off fat.
  • 5. Pour mixture of orange juice, lemon juice and currant jelly over duck.
  • 6. Baste frequently and continue to bake until tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the right duck: Look for a duck that is plump and has a good layer of fat. This will help to ensure that the duck is moist and flavorful after cooking.
  • Prepare the duck properly: Before cooking, remove the giblets and excess fat from the duck. You can also score the skin of the duck to help the glaze penetrate.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time: The orange glaze can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Roast the duck slowly: This will help to ensure that the duck is cooked evenly and that the glaze has time to caramelize.
  • Baste the duck frequently: Basting the duck with the orange glaze while it is roasting will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the duck rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the duck, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Orange glazed duck is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your duck is cooked perfectly and that the glaze is flavorful and caramelized. Serve the duck with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
