Roasted Mallard Duck with Red Currant Sauce Recipe (+)

Directions

TO ROAST THE DUCK:

Preheat oven to 400Âº F.
Rinse duck with cool water and pat dry. Sprinkle inside of duck cavity with salt and pepper and loosely stuff cavity with vegetables. Tie the legs together with oven safe string and lay bacon slices over duck.
Cover the bottom of pan with apple cider. Roast the duck 25 minutes and then remove bacon pieces, baste with apple cider, and return to oven. Continue roasting until duck is light golden brown - about 25 to 30 minutes.

RED CURRANT SAUCE:

In a small bowl combine jelly, sugar, and grated rind until well blended.
Stir in remaining ingredients and whisk together thoroughly.
