ROAST DUCK WITH ORANGE SAUCE - CANARD A L' ORANGE JULIA CHILD



Roast Duck With Orange Sauce - Canard a L' Orange Julia Child image

It was near my husband's birthday when a dear friend gave me two ducklings. Michael loves duck, so I asked him how he wanted them fixed. This is my adaptation of Julia Child's recipe for Duck a l'Orange. The ducklings were a perfect one serving size, 15 ounces, and 17 ounces. The recipe that I had, said that a 5 pound duck would take 1 hour and 30 minutes. Since ours were just about a pound each, they only took 25 minutes. Thank you, Jenny!

Time 3h

Yield 2 small ducklings, 2 serving(s)

  • Skim fat, any scum, strain, and set aside, or refrigerate until needed.

  • Prick skin to allow fat to escape, and to baste the duck during the cooking.
  • Season cavity of ducks with salt and pepper, and place 1/3 of orange peel and 1/3 of orange segments inside.
  • The small ducklings will take about 25 to 30 minutes to roast, so you might want to continue the sauce at this point and preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • In a saucepan, blend sugar and vinegar over low heat to dissolve.
  • Boil rapidly until mixture begins to caramelize.
  • Lower heat to simmer, add half the duck stock, and stir until mixture is no longer caramelized.

SPICED ORANGE CRANBERRY SAUCE



Spiced Orange Cranberry Sauce image

This recipe was graciously shared with me by a Jamaican friend, many years ago. It makes a delicious sauce, different from any other cranberry sauce I've ever tasted or made. It does not "gel" but you do want to cook it long enough to make a good, thick consistency. You can use 1 tablespoon of excellent quality ground cinnamon instead of the cinnamon stick, if you prefer.

2/3 cup canned low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Whisk first 5 ingredients in bowl to blend for marinade. Place hens in plastic bag. Add 1 cup marinade; seal bag. Let hens marinate 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 3 hours, turning bag occasionally. Reserve remaining marinade.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place rack on large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange hens on rack; drizzle with marinade from bag. Roast hens until cooked through and brown, basting occasionally with reserved marinade from bowl, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer hens to platter. Scrape juices into pan; add broth and any remaining marinade. Bring sauce to boil. Season with salt and pepper; spoon over hens.

Tips:

  • Select the right oranges: Choose oranges that are ripe and juicy. Avoid oranges that have blemishes or bruises.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: Zesting the oranges will add a layer of flavor to the sauce. Use a microplane or fine grater to zest the oranges.
  • Use fresh orange juice: Fresh orange juice will give the sauce the best flavor. Avoid using bottled or store-bought orange juice.
  • Simmer the sauce until it thickens: Simmering the sauce over low heat will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from burning.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more sugar if you want the sauce to be sweeter, or add more lemon juice if you want the sauce to be tangier.
