Easy Orange Duck Recipe
With Christmas fast approaching, this is a very easy recipe for lovers of duck to cook for the family feast, I hope you enjoy!
Easy Orange Duck Recipe Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) jar orange marmalade
- 4 duck breast halves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced
- 1 small orange, sliced
Easy Orange Duck Recipe Directions
- Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2 quart glass baking dish with a lid.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of marmalade in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Set the duck breasts in the dish on the marmalade. Poke holes all over the breasts with a fork, and spread a layer of marmalade (about 1 tablespoon for each) over the duck breasts. Sprinkle the garlic over the top of the duck meat. Spread the onion and orange slices around the duck breasts in the dish.
- Cover the dish, and bake in the preheated oven until the duck breasts measure 100 degrees F (38 degrees C) when measured with an instant-read meat thermometer, about 15 minutes. Remove the lid, spread about 1 more tablespoon of marmalade over each breast, and return to the oven, uncovered. Bake until the meat is medium rare (145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

This post is a great example of quality writing. I follow with avid interest and it keeps me sane when I’m stressed. I have given raving reviews to my friends, and they are all going to become regular visitors, I’m sure. Congrats on your style of writing – it is very accomplished and is deserving of a large amount of credit, something which many quality bloggers do not receive enough of. I wonder if you could write more often (that’s not to say you don’t write enough) but I admit that is simply me being greedy. It’s brilliant enough the way things are, and I definitely am very thankful for your writing and I eagerly anticipate reading all that you have to say in the future.

I tried this recipe last week, works well.
We don’t care for garlic that much so substiteted shallot instead.
Also added some ginger syrup, left over from a jar of stem ginger which my wife used in baking a walnut and ginger cake.
Got a thumbs up from my wife, who hates duck!
We had a cup of our favourite Yemeni Matari coffee from The Tea and Coffee Emporium to follow.
Thanks for the post and the opportunity to comment.
