    Wonderfully easy recipe. Came out perfect on my first try and I'd never cooked duck before. One of those recipes that when you see it on TV you think it can't be that easy but when you try it yourself, you're surprised to find out that it is. Skin came out crispy and duck was moist, and flavorful. Got complements from my whole family. Thanks FoodTV!

    The duck came out wonderful; a nice medium for us using the guidelines given. I did pat dry the skin first on the duck before saueting, which resulted in a nice crispy crust. The duck was wonderful on its own, but the sauce only enhanced it (nice, slightly sweet. Paired with a Merlot, and my husband and I were ready to enjoy a wonderful meal!

    No oil is suggested when searing the duck, should one sear on a dry non-stick pan or was a drop of oil recommended?

    If you want crispy duck skin, you need to start by pouring boiling water over room temp breasts twice, dry them well, then cover and refrigerate (best to do this in the morning if you're making the duck that evening. Follow Claire's directions from there. You'll be that much happier with the results.

    My husband loves duck, but is usually disappointed in duck served in restaurants...the skin is never crispy enough, no matter how he assures the server that he will not cumplain if it is a little overdone..he wants a crispy skin!..I was thinking of trying this with a whole duck? Any thoughts?

    I made this recipe verbatim, except that I couldn't find the cherries frozen, so I used canned Bing cherries that I rinsed. Easy, quick, incredibly delicious. Thank you Claire for an easy, rewarding treat!

    As for the sugarland comment, what a load of Crap.
    I live in Houston Texas, and I made this for a party. My only difference was serving, I sliced the duck thin and made it look like wavy ribbon on skewers for a party. We have duck all over the state.
    This was fabulous, and also I'd like to recommend the Spinach Cabonara was amazing too!

    This recipe was yummy with chicken breasts, too. I browned the chicken breasts, removed them from the pan, sauteed the shallots, added the liquid and cherries (I also used Oregon canned cherries. Them I put the breasts back in the pan, covered them and roasted them in the oven for 30 minutes on 325. Yummy!
