Rotisserie Spit Roasted Duck With Apricot Glaze

Duck goes really well citrus fruits and this rotisserie spit roasted duck and apricot jam recipe will tickle your taste buds. I did this one on one of my trips to Le Mans and it really went down with the lads so much so that there was absolutely nothing left.

Look How This Duck Is Starting To Crisp Up Nicely

Duck is a fatty bird so it’s ideal for the rotisserie there’s also not as much meat on there as you would think so don’t skimp. I work on one duck for 4 people and you may want to reduce that ratio still if you’ve got some guys with big appetites.

As with all rotisserie recipes one of the tricks is to make sure that you get an even cooking and to do that you’ve got to get the balance right on the rotisserie spit roast. If it’s too heavy one side then the rotisserie will spin at a variable speed, get it right and you’ll have one constant speed and an even cooking process. It’s not impossible, just take a little time to perfect it.

Ingredients:-

  • 2 ducks (giblets removed)
  • 1 8oz jar of apricot jam
  • ¼ pint or 150ml dry white vermouth

Method:-

The Glaze Is This Easy To Make

Having threaded the rotisserie and sprinkled with salt, get your spit roasted ducks over the grill. Allow them to turn for about an hour.

During this hour, put the mix the apricot jam and vermouth in a saucepan and warm gently until it's well mixed.

Roast the ducks for a further hour and mop with the apricot jam mix every fifteen minutes or so. Save some of the mop to pour directly over the meat once carve and don't forget the contents of the drip tray.
