Duck

BIZZYIZZY

Can some one help me please.
I have been given a duck and I am not sure what sauce to do with it.
I am sure I saw or read something about a raspberry sauce or I think cranberry. Any ideas I don't want an orange sauce.
Thanks

Raspberries, sugar, glug of red wine/raspberry vinegar, salt, pepper - boil up.

Rather than fresh, you can use jam/conserve - raspberry, cranberry, blueberry or cherry?

Or lime/grapefruit/kumquat preserves/bit of stem ginger syrup.

If by sauce you mean posh gravy I always add redcurrant jelly to the juices. Have used redcurrants instead of cranberries in a cranberry sauce recipe adding some port rather than kirsch - this works well if you mean a spooned sauce.

Or no fruity sauce at all ? keep pouring the fat off as it roasts (keep it for roast spuds - its wonderful) and make a gravy with the meaty goo left when you pour the fat off. No need to put fruit anywhere near duck if you don't want to tho people do it because a duck is such a fatty bird it cuts the greasiness a bit. If served with nice (non-greasy) veg a fruitless duck will be fine....yum.
(Delia's good on times etc for cooking duck)
