Friday, September 21, 2007 posted by mmMaple
  • 1 5-6 pound duck
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons current jelly
  • 2 oranges, segmented

Singe the duck to remove the pin feathers; wash and dry. Season with the salt and pepper. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in a 350 degree oven 3 hours, or until tender and browned.

Measure 2 tablespoons of the fat from the roasting pan and pour into a saucepan. Stir in the flour and gradually add the orange juice, mixing steadily until mixture reaches the boiling point. Add the lemon juice, broth, jelly and orange segments. Cook over low heat 10 minutes. Carve the duck and serve with sauce. Serves 6.
