Duck Breasts With Wine & Marmalade Sauce
"This is very simple, but it has big, big flavor for so few ingredients. I like to use wild ducks, but you can adapt it using domesticated ones as well. This recipe comes from a cookbook entitled "Variations & Improvisations" (complied by friends of public radio in Monroe, LA)."
