    Categories: Duck
    Yield: 1 servings

    1 Duck
    2 oz Port
    1/2 c Wild mushrooms

    MMMMM----------------------BLUEBERRY SAUCE---------------------------
    1 c Blueberries
    1/2 c Duck stock
    1/4 ts Fresh rosemary; crushed
    1 oz Port

    MMMMM----------------------CRANBERRY SAUCE---------------------------
    1 c Cranberries
    1/2 c Duck stock
    1/4 ts Fresh basil; chopped
    1 oz Dry sherry

    Roast duck and split in half. Reserve the breasts and thighs. Use the
    back and wings for stock.

    Stock:

    Roast the excess duck parts until dark brown. Pour off excess fat
    from pan. Heat pan and deglaze with 2 oz port and a little water. Put
    deglazing liquid in saucepot and add roasted excess duck parts and
    enough water to cover. Simmer 2 to 3 hours. Strain, degrease, and
    reduce liquid by 3/4ths. Discard duck Bones.

    Blueberry Sauce:

    In a saucepan put the blueberries, stock, port, and the rosemary.
    Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

    Cranberry Sauce:

    In a saucepan put the cranberries, stock, sherry, and basil. Bring to
    a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

    Mushrooms:

    Heat 2 tb duck fat in a frying pan until grease just starts to smoke.
    Add the mushrooms and saute until tender.

    Notes:

    The two sauces can be produced at the same time and as they are
    finishing, the mushrooms can be done. In this way everything will be
    hot at the same time. Place the sauces on opposing sides of the plate
    with the mushrooms in between. Place a duck half on the mushrooms for
    the table.
