Ingredients:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 4 duck breast halves, with skin on<\/li>\n
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil<\/li>\n
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup cherry preserves<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup red wine vinegar<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup chicken or duck stock<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter<\/li>\n
  • Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    Instructions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Using a sharp knife, score the duck breast skin in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides of the duck breasts generously with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n
    2. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the hot pan and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.<\/li>\n
    3. Flip the duck breasts over and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Transfer the seared duck breasts to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.<\/li>\n
    4. In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and saut\u00e9 for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the cherry preserves, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.<\/li>\n
    5. Remove the cherry sauce from the heat and swirl in the unsalted butter until fully incorporated and glossy.<\/li>\n
    6. Slice the duck breasts and arrange them on serving plates. Drizzle the cherry sauce generously over the top and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
