Duck With Orange Sauce

A real treat, and a tasty alternative to chicken.

Duck a l'orange is a tried and trusted duck dish, with just about every French mother having her own variations on the theme; some use marmalade to enhance the flavour; others would rather die than use marmalade!

The added bonus is that duck invariably produces lots of duck fat that can later be used to roast potatoes or other vegetables.

This Website is AMAZING! I was raised by my stepmother who was born in France and grew up eating this food! Every Sunday we would go to her mothers house and eat, I have been trying to recreate these recipes on my own and have failed miserably. THANK YOU for having these recipes for use!
