Roast Duck With Marmalade Glaze Recipes

MARMALADE GLAZED ROAST DUCK

Steps:

• Expose and cut out the wishbone. This makes the duck easier to carve once cooked. A butcher can do this for you.
• Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Lightly score the skin on the duck all over, and make a deep cut from inside the body into each leg.
• Season the duck well. Heat an ovenproof frying pan over a low heat. Place the duck on its side with the thigh touching the pan for 15 mins. Turn and cook on the other side for 15 mins more.
• Turn the duck breast-side down, then transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 5 mins. Drain the fat from the pan, turn the duck onto its back and continue to cook for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut both oranges in half, then cut 4 wedges from half an orange. Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat, then cook the orange wedges in the dry pan for 1 min on each side to lightly caramelise.
• Remove the orange wedges from the pan and set aside. Squeeze the juice from the remaining orange halves into the hot pan and reduce by half. Add the marmalade, take off the heat, add 1 tbsp water and stir together.
• After 15 mins of roasting, brush the marmalade glaze over and continue to roast for a final 10 mins. Rest for 20 mins.
• Carve by cutting the leg and thigh away, then separating the leg from the thigh. Carve slices of breast and serve with the orange wedges to squeeze over.

ROAST DUCK WITH MARMALADE GLAZE RECIPE

Steps:

• Pierce the skin of the duck all over with a skewer. Put on a rack in the kitchen sink, and pour over 2 full kettles of boiling water. Pat it dry with kitchen towel and leave it to dry on a plate in the fridge for an hour. You do this to release the subcutaneous fat layer under the skin, to give crispy, not fatty, duck.
• Heat the oven to 180C fan, gas 6. Put the duck on a rack or trivet over a deep roasting tin, as it will release around 300g fat into the tin.
• Add plenty of sea salt and roast for 1 hour. Gently heat the marmalade then brush half over the duck. Return to the oven then repeat after 15 minutes. The duck should be in the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, strain off the fat (it's great for roast potatoes) and rest the duck, covered, for 10 minutes.
• For the sauce, simply mix all the ingredients together then cook gently in a small saucepan until the cranberries are soft and cooked through.

ROAST DUCK WITH MARMALADE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Rinse duck thoroughly inside and out under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove excess skin around the neck (keep it to make duck crackling).
• Generously season the cavity with salt and black pepper. Stuff the bird with orange, onion and lemon pieces. Tie the legs with kitchen twine to secure the stuffing.
• Using a sharp knife, score the skin on the breast side making sure not to cut into the meat (for a fancier look, make a diamond pattern).
• Rub Chinese 5 spice evenly on the duck and sprinkle hot paprika on top. Place the bird, breast side up, on a roasting pan lined with a rack. Cover loosely with foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast 25 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF. Meanwhile, make the glaze.
• When the bird is done, take it out of the oven, remove the foil and spoon on 3 to 4 tablespoons of the glaze; brush it on evenly.
• Return the duck to the oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
• When time is up, remove from the heat and spoon on the remaining glaze; brush it on evenly. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest 15 minutes before serving. Serve with Scalloped Potatoes and steamed vegetables.
• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add marmalade, orange juice, ginger and garlic. Stir well before processing with an immersion blender just enough to break down most of the peels.
• When warm, taste and adjust if needed. If the glaze tastes bitter, add brown sugar. Turn off the heat and set aside until the duck is cooked.

ROAST DUCK WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Sprinkle inside of duck with caraway seeds; prick skin all over with a fork. In a large skillet, sauté vegetables in oil. Stir in broth, seasonings and stuffing., Loosely stuff duck with stuffing mixture. Skewer neck opening; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string. Place breast side up on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan., Bake, uncovered, until golden brown and a thermometer reads 170° for the duck and 165° for the stuffing, 2-1/2 to 3-1/4 hours. Drain fat from pan as it accumulates. Cover loosely with foil if duck browns too quickly. Cover and let stand 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving., Meanwhile, for glaze, combine sugars, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Gradually stir in orange juice, zest and hot pepper sauce until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with duck.

ROAST DUCK WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Rinse the cranberries carefully under running water, and pick them over to remove any that have spoiled.
• Mix one cup of cranberries, the honey, and one-half cup of water in a small saucepan and cook, simmering, until the cranberries are very soft. Strain through a sieve into a small bowl. The honey liquid is the glaze for the duck.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F Remove the gizzard, heart, and liver from the duck and set aside. Put the orange peel, half the onion, and about half a teaspoon of salt and pepper in the cavity. Paint the duck with a little of the cranberry glaze.
• Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 45 minutes. Every 15 minutes, paint the surface with a little of the cranberry glaze. Remove the duck from the oven and prick the skin all over with a fork to release the fat. Return to the oven and continue roasting, painting every 15 minutes with the glaze, for a total of two hours.
• While the duck is roasting, make a broth with the innards: roughly chop the remaining half onion and the duck innards. Place in a small saucepan with the wine, another half teaspoon of salt and pepper, and a cup of water. Simmer gently for an hour or more, until the broth is reduced to approximately one-half cup of flavorful liquid. Strain the broth and discard the solids.
• Mix the remaining half cup of cranberries with the remaining half cup of water, the sugar, and the balsamic vinegar. Cook together for 10 minutes until the mixture is syrupy. Set aside.
• When the duck has finished roasting, remove it from the oven and set aside. It should be a beautiful dark-red color.
• Strain the pan juices into a glass measuring cup and carefully remove the duck fat that floats to the top. (Do not discard: duck fat is wonderful for roasting or frying potatoes.) Add the innard broth the roasting juices and use this to deglaze the roasting pan, scraping up the roasting bits that have stuck to the pan. Strain the whole through a fine sieve and place in a small saucepan.
• Add the cranberry-vinegar syrup to the pan juices and broth. If there is any glaze remaining, add that to the mixture and bring the whole to a simmer just to warm it and mix everything together.
• Carve the duck if you wish, or send it whole to the table, together with the warm cranberry sauce.

EASY ORANGE GLAZE DUCK

Steps:

• Pour the orange soda, orange juice concentrate, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and teriyaki sauce into a bowl, and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove any excess pieces of fat from inside the duckling, place the duck into a roasting pan, and prick the skin all over with a fork to allow the fat to drain off while roasting.
• Brush the duckling with the orange mixture. Place the mushrooms into the cavity of the duck, and spoon in some of the orange sauce.
• Roast the duck in the preheated oven, brushing it every 20 to 30 minutes with the orange sauce, until a meat thermometer inserted into a thick part of a thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 2 1/2 hours.
