2 oz butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups frozen blackberries, thawed
12 oz beef broth
6 oz red wine
3 oz orange juice
1 oz raspberry vinegar
1 oz Cognac or brandy
1 tablespoon maple syrup
4 6-oz duck breasts
salt and pepper
4 oz fresh blackberries, as garnish
Melt 1 oz butter in large pan. Add sugar, stir and simmer for 5 minutes until
color darkens slightly. Add blackberries, broth, wine, orange juice and vinegar,
and bring to a boil. Reduce to about 6 oz, perhaps 45-60 minutes. Add Cognac and
maple syrup, and stir. Put sauce over low heat with remaining 1 oz of butter,
stirring so butter melts.
Season duck with salt and pepper. Heat large skillet, and sear duck, 3-5 minutes
per side, or more for desired level of doneness. Optionally, slice duck prior to
serving.
Plate half of sauce, the duck and the remaining sauce. Garnish with fresh
blackberries and serve.
Serves 4.
