Balsamic, Orange, Honey, Maple Syrup Glazed Duck - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (2 kg) duck
40 g maple syrup
60 g honey
20 g Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
100 ml orange juice
100 ml balsamic vinegar
10 g garlic
40 ml orange liqueur or 40 ml port wine

Preparation

Preheat oven to 190c.
Mix all the ingredients (except the duck!) together in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.
Reserve 1/4 of the glaze.
Sit the duck on a rack over a baking dish, baste and place in oven.
Baste the duck every 10 minutes throughout the cooking process with remaining 3/4 of glaze.
A 2kg duck should take about 1 hour 15 minutes to cook, but give one of his legs a pull, and if it moves freely and any juices run clear, your duck will be cooked.
Place on a serving platter brush with reserved glaze and serve.
Pass any remaining reserved glaze to be spooned over carved duck.
