Duck À L'Orange

   Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F. Season the duck. Pour the juice of 1 orange into the cavity of the duck then close with wooden skewers and tie the legs together with butcher's twine. Put the duck breast down in a roasting pan with a drip tray. Pour 1/2 cup hot water into the pan and roast for 1 1/2 hours. Turn the duck halfway through the roasting time and put the giblets into the water. Heat the jam in a saucepan, strain then use to coat the duck about 10 mins before serving.

   For the sauce, remove the duck from the roasting pan and keep it warm. Remove the giblets from the tray and deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup hot water and the chicken stock. Caramelize the sugar in a saucepan and pour in the hot stock, stirring well. Add the remaining orange juice, orange zest and lemon juice and season to taste. Bring to a boil, add the cornstarch slurry and bring it back to a boil. Keep warm.
