Duck Breasts in Cherry Sauce Recipe
In this Duck Breasts in Cherry Sauce recipe, we start by seasoning the duck breasts with salt and pepper, then searing them in a cast iron skillet. While they cook, we prepare a delicious sauce with shallots, chicken stock, port wine, and thawed, halved cherries. We finish the sauce by stirring in cold, cubed butter. Once the duck is cooked to a nice medium-rare, we slice it and spoon the flavorful sauce with cherries over the top.
