Roast duck is on the menu for Christmas dinner this yr, so I assumed I might share the recipe for the orange honey sauce I shall be serving with the sliced breast on the desk.

This easy and scrumptious condiment additionally works extremely properly as a glaze for the crispy duck pores and skin after it comes out evenly smoked from the Weber barbecue or oven.
