Orange Sauce for a Roast Duck Dinner
Some people really like duck and this is a sauce that will make the flavours take off and sing.
- 3/4 cup currant jelly
- 1/3 cup sugar
- rind of 3 oranges, grated
- 1/4 cup port wine
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- pinch of salt
- dash of cayenne
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
Combine the jelly, sugar and orange rind to a pot, beating well. Heat long enough only to melt the sugar.
Add the remaining ingredints, except the lemon juice and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice, stirring only to blend.
Glaze the duck during the last half hour of cooking time. Serve the remaining sauce in a pitcher at the table for guests to add more.
