I gave a little Swedish twist to the traditional French duck breasts and prepared a lovely honey berry sauce to accompany the duck breasts. Sweet encounters tart and they take the French duck to new heights! Just divine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 duck breasts
  • Chili flakes
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cranberry juice
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 Tablespoon cherry vinegar
  • 3,5 oz (100g) raspberry
  • 3,5 oz (100g) cranberry
  • 1 Tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Slit the duck breasts skin side into a grid without cutting through the meat and season with chili flakes and salt. Dip the duck breasts in cranberry juice and fry them on high heat for 3-5 minutes on a cast iron skillet, starting with the fat side of the duck breasts.
  2. Take up the duck breasts and place them in a piece of foil.
  3. Pour 1/2 glass of water to the same pan along with 1,5 cup of cranberry juice, honey and cherry vinegar. Cook together until it forms a thick syrup. Add the cherry vinegar and cook one more minute.
  4. Cut the duck breasts into slices, season with pepper and pour over the sauce with whole berries.
