Method

Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a bowl.

Marinate the duck in the fridge for 20 to 25 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Fry the duck skin-side down in a hot wok with oil for 5 minutes.

Bake the duck skin-side up on a tray for 4 minutes.

Boil water in a saucepan and add fruits, sugar, honey, and spices.

Cook the sauce over medium heat until thickened and sticky.

Strain the sauce through a sieve and stir in the lime juice.

Serve duck breasts drizzled with sauce alongside fresh salad.
