Duck Breasts with Raspberry Sauce [4 serv; ready in 50min]
4 duck breast halves
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons demerara sugar
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup creme de cassis liqueur
1 teaspoon cornstarch
4 ounces raspberries
Preheat oven on broiler setting. Use a fork to score the duck breasts through the skin and fat but not all the way through to the meat.
Heat a large heavy skillet on medium high. Fry the duck breasts skin side down, until the skin browns and fat runs out, about 10 minutes. Remove the breasts from the pan, and pour off most of the fat. Return breasts to pan, and fry skin side up for another 10 minutes. Remove breasts from pan, and allow to rest on a baking sheet. Mix the sea salt, cinnamon and Demerara sugar together and sprinkle over the skin of the duck breasts. Pour most of the fat out of the frying pan.
Mix together the red wine, cassis, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour into the pan, and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened. Add raspberries, and simmer for another minute until heated through.
Broil the duck breasts skin side up, until the sugar begins to caramelize, about 1 minute. Slice the duck breasts thinly, pour a little sauce over the top, and serve warm.

Bacon Wrapped Duck Breasts [6 servings]
1/4 cup salt
8 cups water
12 duck breast halves
12 slices bacon
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
toothpicks
Mix together salt and water. Set aside 2/3 of the mixture, and pour the rest into a glass baking dish. Soak the duck in the salt water overnight to remove the gamey. Change the salt water twice, or until mostly clear.
The next morning, discard the salt water, and pour salad dressing over the duck breasts, and marinate for at least 8 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wrap each breast half in one strip of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place the breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake for about 1 hour, or until bacon is crisp, and duck is cooked through.
