600. California Farm Xmas Dinner: Canard a l’Orange

Canard a l’Orange means Duck with Oranges. Christmas, in midwinter, with fresh oranges, how luxurious can you get? The wild ducks have flown south because of the cold, and there are no fresh oranges yet, unless you import oranges. We eat farm raised ducks and geese for the Holidays. Here is a family holiday classic festive dinner: goat cheese tart appetizer, duck , sauce, honey glazed carrots, truffle baked potato chips, sour dough bread, profiteroles and spiced fruitcake for dessert.
