GastroMetrics: November 2009
http://gastrometrics.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
A review of food, wine, restaurants and cooking gadgets. Sunday, November 29, 2009. Thanksgiving Roast Duck with apricot/cranberry/plum glaze. First, I let the bird sit out overnight to come to room temperature. When I took it out of the bag, I patted it dry and covered it. The next morning, I made a glaze to baste the duck with every 20 minutes. Here is a quick recipe for the glaze:. 1/2 cup of orange blossom honey (or any type). 2 tbsp of apricot jam. 2 tbsp of plum preserve. 2 slices of fresh ginger.
