I have teamed up again with Orchard Choice California Fig Spreads to share a delicious recipe featuring their Balsamic Pepper Fig Spread. 
We also have not one but two exciting giveaways you can enter to win! 
One of my favorite “fancy” dinner at home meals that my
 husband makes is roasted duck. Ava’s not a fan so we save
our duck meals for a date night dinner once she is asleep. This recipe
looks impressive but is actually quite simple and only requires 3 ingredients!
Crispy seasoned skin, juicy sumptuous duck, and sweet fig jam with a hint of spice make this a meal you won’t soon forget! 
Check out another tasty California Fig Spread recipe on the blog:

Scroll down to enter to win a gift set of fig spreads to make 
your own date night meal at home!
 You  can enter to win an exclusive trip for two to tour America’s Test Kitchen in Boston on July 24. The prize includes hotel, airfare and $500 in spending money.

Enter to win a 4-pack variety gift box of 
Orchard Choice California Fig Spreads below!

Ingredients: 

Makes 4 servings
  • 4 large skin on duck legs (I like Maple Leaf Farms)
  • 1 tbsp seasoning of your choice (I use a Kentucky Flavor seasoning)
  • 4 tbsp Orchard Choice California Fig Spread in Balsamic Pepper 

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Sprinkle duck with seasoning and place in a large baking dish.
  3. Bake for one and a half hours until the meat is juicy and the skin is crisp.
  4. Remove duck from oven and let cool slightly.
  5. Scoop fig spread into a bowl and heat in the microwave for 10 seconds.
  6. Spoon 1 tbsp fig spread onto top of each duck leg, smoothing to cover.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!

Place skin on duck legs in a 9X13 baking dish.
Sprinkle with seasoning of your choice.
This sweet and spicy Kentucky seasoning is our favorite spice mix right now!
I love California fig spread in any flavor but this Balsamic 
Pepper Spread is both sweet, savory, and has a hint of pepper. 
It is delicious melted on top of the crispy duck legs!

Bake at 350 degrees for one and a half hours until the meat is juicy and the skin is crisp.





Scoop fig spread into a bowl and heat in the microwave for 10 seconds.



Spoon 1 tbsp fig spread onto top of each duck leg, smoothing to cover.



I like to serve my duck with creamed cauliflower or kale
 and a fresh summer vegetable or salad.

    I serve fig jam with warm brie and also with some smoky hard cheese (like gouda) and crackers. It is always a big hit!

    I think this would work well with pork. I could see using it either inside cooking but also on the grill. This would be a terrific base for grilling.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
