Ingredients

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced into thin wedges

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2/3 cup dried cherries

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

pinch cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons butter, chilled

6 –8 duck breast half fillets, skin removed

salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

If you can’t find dried cherries in your market, substitute any dried berries (most stores carry “Craisins” – a sweetened cranberry) or even raisins. This preparation also works wonderfully with pork, upland game or antlered game.

Place the apples into a medium saucepan with 3/4 cup water, brown sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer until apples are just tender, about 10 minutes. Add cherries and simmer another 5 minutes.

Drain liquid and stir in cinnamon, coriander, cayenne pepper and butter. Keep warm, but just warm. If sauce becomes too cool and congeals, heat over very low heat while stirring until warm, but not hot.

Season duck breasts with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown ducks breasts evenly on both sides until medium-rare. Spoon apple mixture onto each plate and top with duck breasts.

This recipe served as inspiration for my own dish. Seeing as I didn't have about half the ingredients, but I did have duck breasts and apples, I ventured forth. Instead of cherries I used dried plums (only thing in the cabinet). I left out the brown sugar and added both apples and chopped prunes to the sauce. I made with the sauce by adding red wine and stock to a small amount of fat from the browned duck breasts, reducing it and seasoning with cinnamon, salt, pepper and thyme. It was really quite tasty! But I'm still looking forward sticking to the script next time :-)
