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!

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.

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.
