(7)
Yield:
4 Serves

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons orange juice

  • 2 tablespoons brandy

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 2 pomegranates

  • ¾ cup homemade or canned low sodium store-bought chicken stock

  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Place the orange juice, brandy, and honey in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer, add vinegar, and cook for 2 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, cut pomegranates in half. Hold pomegranate halves over a large bowl and beat each one with the back of a wooden spoon to release seeds and juices. Place 2/3 pomegranate seeds and any accumulated juices, thyme, and chicken stock in the jar of a blender; blend for 10 seconds. Strain pomegranate mixture through a fine sieve into saucepan.

  3. Return glaze to a simmer. Stir in butter. Spoon over duck and garnish with remaining pomegranate seeds.
