I'm a beginner cook and this recipe was a bit challenging for me. The glaze was a bit too tart for my taste, but the duck was cooked perfectly. I'll try this recipe again with a different glaze.

This recipe was a disaster! The glaze was too sweet and the duck was overcooked. I will not be making this again.

I had some trouble finding duck breasts at my local grocery store, but I eventually found them at a specialty butcher shop. The recipe was easy to follow and the glaze was delicious. The duck was a bit dry, but overall it was a good meal.
