Honey & Ginger Soy Duck
Tender duck breasts marinated in a flavorful blend of orange, ginger, sherry, and soy sauce, then seared to golden perfection and finished in the oven. The luxurious sauce made from the marinade and stock brings all the flavors together in a harmonious blend of sweet, savory, and a hint of citrus zest. An impressive dish that is surprisingly easy to make!
