1 bay leaf

20ml red wine

1 tbsp redcurrant jelly

1.14L / 2 pints water

2 tbsp rapeseed or veg oil

2 Bramley apples (peeled, cored, chopped and seeds removed)

30g / 1oz butter

115g / 4oz caster sugar

Splash of water

Stuffing

2 large onions finely chopped

10-15g / 0.6 oz dried or freshly chopped sage

陆 loaf (10-12 slices) of white bread, crumbed

570ml / 1 pint chicken stock

2 tbsp duck fat (from the roasted duck)

Salt and pepper

Method

Day before

Place whole duck in roasting tray 鈥 add a pint of water and generously season with salt and pepper.听 Cover with foil and roast at 200 挺c / Gas 6 for 2hrs 20 mins.听 Once cooked remove from the oven, allow to cool completely and then put in the fridge.

On the day required

Portion duck into 4 i.e. 2 legs and 2 breast portions removing the breast from the bone, stripping off any other meat, leaving the carcass to make the sauce.听 Spoon off the fat and keep for the stuffing. 听Reserve the stock from the tray to reheat the duck in later.

Make the sauce by browning the onion, carrot and leek in a thick bottomed pan with a little oil and then deglaze the pan with the red wine.听听听

Add the rest of the ingredients (thyme, bay leaf, water), along with the broken up carcass and allow to simmer for a couple of hours (you can add a little of the stock from the duck tray).听听

Strain, add the redcurrant jelly and reduce until the required consistency i.e. will coat the back of a spoon.

Stuffing

In a pan sweat the onions in the retained duck fat, add the sage and chicken stock.听 Bring to the boil then add the breadcrumbs, cook for 2-3 mins stirring constantly, season and set aside.

Apple Sauce

Put all the ingredients (apples, butter, sugar, water) in a pan and stir continuously until the apples break down into a pulp.听

Before serving, return the duck with 2 tablespoons of the retained duck stock, to a 225 挺c / gas 8 oven for 20-25 mins until golden brown and crispy.听

To serve place a portion of duck on each plate, put on a good spoonful of stuffing and apple sauce. 听Pour over the duck sauce and serve with roast potatoes and vegetables of your choice.听听
