ingredients
directions
- Preheat oven to 210.
- Soften butter then blend in spices and return to fridge until firm. You can go the lazy route & substitute 2 tbsp McCormick's French Roasting Rub for the spices if you like - an equally enticing blend.
- Remove & set aside orange sauce packet (comes in duck cavity), you'll use this later.
- Pat duck dry & place breast up in roasting pan.
- Slather duck with butter mixture & pop in the oven. Roast until juices from thigh joint run clear. This will take a while. Baste with juices from bottom of pan when you think about it. The aroma will fill your home & drive everyone crazy ~ it's the longest 4 or 5 hours you'll ever endure as this smells SO GOOD --
- The cool thing about the butter paste is that it will not melt off your duck as regular pats of butter would.
- If you'd like a little extra flavor heat the orange sauce packet in some boiling water & use as a dipping sauce.
- If there's any duck left (I seriously doubt this) you can add to a nice salad next day for lunch.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I'm an experimental cook at home, I love to find new things to make and I try to spoil my honeybunny with something different every night for dinner (unless he requests do-overs of course!). I absolutely love this site ~ it's the first time I've ever thought to publish my recipes, I love to share & hope y'all will love them as much as we do! I love that I don't have to buy cookbooks anymore! <br /> <br />When I'm not at work I love to play with my 2 warmblood horses, a beloved hobby in my country home in Valley Center, they are an Irish Sport Horse colt, a Premium Award recipient Oldenburg colt, (both from my Anglo-Trakehner mare that I gave to my friend Jodi as her daughter's first horse) a white, blue eyed, deaf Great Dane (Moose), our new addition, Annakin (a nearly black German Sheppard who was given to us as a companion for Moose after we lost our sweet Patrick & Lupe, Patrick to cancer & Lupe to old age not a month apart!), 2 very spoiled cats (Petey & Fingers McGee, who has 'hands', he's got 6 toes!) and of course my wonderful Tony! I tell everyone I save the best for last but he doesn't see it that way, he thinks the animals come first... I love that guy! He just showed up in my driveway one day & we've been together ever since! It's been 5 years now... <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
