Duck Breasts With Raspberry Sauce

This is from a local cooking class that i took. the fruity, slightly tart sauce really complements the rich flavor of the duck breast. use the rendered duck fat to fry some tiny new potatoes for a decadent dish worthy of a dinner party.

Steps

Score the skin of the duck breasts , being careful not to cut into the meat.
Season with salt and pepper on both sides , then place into a cold skillet , skin side down.
Turn on the flame to medium-low , and slowly cook the duck until much of the fat has rendered out , and the skin begins to get crispy.
Remove most of the rendered fat from the pan , and reserve for another use.
Set the duck aside while the sauce cooks.
In another small pan , combine the raspberries , cinnamon , sugar , vinegar , and water.
Cook over medium low heat until the berries are soft and the sugar has dissolved.
Place in a blender and puree until smooth.
Return the duck to medium low heat , this time skin side up.
Continue to cook until the meat reaches your desired degree of doneness.
Let the duck rest for 5 minutes , then place on serving dishes and drizzle with the raspberry sauce.
