Im not sure if this was an actual recipe I found or one that I just substituted ingredients to make but it turned out incredible, especially for my first time to cook duck! Im not sure of the size bottle of maple syrup used I think it was 12 or 16 ounces. I served this with salad and baked sweet potatoes just buttered with salt and pepper. PREP TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE MARINATE TIME.

SERVES 4 , 4 breasts (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 duck breasts (trim off skin and excess fat)
1 (16 ounce) bottle pure maple syrup
1 lb pecans

Directions

1
Rinse and dry duck breasts, then stab full of holes with a skewer or a knife works fine too.
2
Lay the duck in a large bowl, avoid overlapping if possible and pour enough maple syrup over breasts to cover.
3
Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
4
Pour 1/2-3/4 of the pecans in a zip bag and smash well with a rolling pin. You may wish to pulse in a food processor instead.
5
Remove duck from frige and set at room temperature for 10 minutes.
6
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
7
One breast at a time baste with remaining syrup and a basting brush, then roll in pecan crumbs.
8
Place in a buttered baking dish.
9
Bake for 40-45 minutes. You want the duck to be a little rare or it will be tough.
