  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan oven 180°C), gas mark 6.

  2. Heat a heavy pan without any fat for a few minutes until very hot. Add the duck breasts, skin side down, and cook for 5-6 mins until the skin is crisp and golden brown.

  3. Turn the breasts over and transfer them to a roasting tin. Place in the centre of the preheated oven and cook for about 10 mins. Remove and leave to rest on a warm dish.

  4. While the duck is resting, place the juice and the marmalade in a pan. Heat gently until the marmalade has melted and stir in the oil. Season to taste.
