Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ducks legs
½ tsp five spice powder
bunch of rosemary sprigs
4 fat garlic cloves
half a bottle of red wine
2 tbsp redcurrant or quince jelly

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put the duck legs in one layer in a roasting tin on a bed of rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves. Sprinkle with salt and five-spice powder. Roast for 1 hr.
  • Bring the wine and jelly to a gentle simmer, stirring to dissolve the jelly, then continue to simmer for 5 mins.
