Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Orange Glazed Duck.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
Generously sprinkle Chinese five-spice powder inside the duck's cavity, infusing it with aromatic flavors.
Step 3
Next, stuff the cavity with chopped onion and cubed orange, adding a delightful zest.
Step 4
In a saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, orange liqueur, honey, white sugar, and soy sauce.
Step 5
Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring often, until it thickens to a luscious, jam-like consistency, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 6
Once thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for about 3 minutes.
Step 7
Now, place the duck on a roasting rack nestled in a roasting pan.
Step 8
Generously brush the duck with the cranberry glaze, ensuring every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
Step 9
Roast the duck in your preheated oven for around 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and no longer pink at the bone, with juices running clear.
Step 10
For perfect doneness, use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the thickest part of the thigh reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma that fills your kitchen as this succulent duck roasts to perfection.
