Absolutely YUM, I used a fan forced oven at 190 for 1 1/2 hrs for 2kg duck.
I added small shallots, which enriched the plum gravy.ByCreated Tracy
This was so yummy, I swapped the plums for dried prunes and wow it really intensified the taste. i also didn't have coconut sugar so used soft brown instead.. definite winner.

A great product and range. I do a knockout duck and mushroom resotto using your recipe but adding thickened cream to the rice for a creamy texture. Love your duck. Thanks
