The idea of cooking with fruit can seem odd to some, but it is just the perfect companion with Duck. Duck breast is rich and luxurious and fruit cuts through the richness a bit and gives the dish some balance.

Duck Breast on its own is a great dish if you feel you do not want the sweetness of the fruit.
