Duck confit, a traditional French recipe, is an indulgent and sinfully-good dish. The process of confit is centuries-old and consists of curing and then cooking the duck in its rendered fat. The technique of rubbing the seasoning on the duck and letting it chill for 24 hours allows for the meat to cure and to take in the spices. The duck confit and rendered fat can be kept in a sealed jar for up to six months. Our Apricot Glazed Duck Confit recipe is not too difficult, but the final product is delicious and tender.
We used Grow & Behold’s Duck Legs for this recipe. The classic way for duck legs to be prepared is “confit”, which is a French culinary method of cooking the duck in its own fat. This slow-cook technique allows the duck to become very tender and rich tasting. All of Grow & Behold’s products are Glatt Kosher and pasture raised. As soon as the birds are large enough to be moved outside, they spend their entire lives on grass. They live in spacious, movable pens that are moved each day allowing them to access a growing salad bar of natural food. The birds are also fed a special blend of non-GMO food.

My mothers brisket and potatoes is the best at the seder. I look forward to it every year
brisket or whole boneless turkey breast are our favorites. time to try something new though!
Looks like delicious piece of meat. I have just the recipe for it.
My favorite to prepare is a brisket that uses whole cranberry sauce, wine, and onions as the basic ingredients..i also love anything that my son and daughter in law are willing to make.
We love brisket for holidays!
I love to have turkey for passover! Thinking about trying duck!
special pesach treat for us is ribs!
I also love duck, as others have commented. However, I usually do not eat meat, though I enjoy a good roasted chicken on Yom Tov and/or Shabbos.
I LIKE TO COOK LAMB
I love any meat on pesach 🙂 but my family really enjoys duck as a treat
Where is your #JOK contest? Which picture on your Instagram is it so that I can re-gram it and get another entry?
wow
MMMMM!!!!! DELICIOUS DUCK
Shoot, I do miss duck. That picture looks great.
Don’t care for duck; I make brisket. I love that!
It is nice to enjoy quintessential New York Brisket
My favorite meat is Second Cut Brisket
I love duck but I usually made a beef roast.
I like to cook lamb
Chicken. Boring but it works!
I haven’t really thought much about cooking meat specifically for passover. I do like making rolls out of Matza Meal and the cooking a ground beef patty to make a hamburger.
Number 1 is turkey. Everyone loves it.
These contests are so fun – good luck everyone!
My favorite is Brisket with carrots and potatoes, very basic, comfort food.
My family loves Turkey and Brisket
Kosher duck is almost always too salty, but I love it anyway
Stuffed Breast of veal
Good kosher duck is almost impossible to find!
corned beef
we love duck but it’s so hard to prepare well!
Brisket, of course!!!!
I love duck but it is so hard to clean all the feathers, etc with my carpal tunnel. I love to make veal chops or veal roast for passover and apricot chicken cutlets.
Turkey!
I could really use some duck confit, just about now.
ground beef…
goes well with mashed potatoes
potato pasta
and everything else
Turkey & brisket are my favorite Passover go-to meats. Also ribs with my homemade BBQ sauce & keftes de praasa (leek burgers). My ma, of blessed memory, made duck a l’orange. I can easily add duck to my repertoire 🙂
Leg of lamb–my uncle’s recipe with lots of garlic and parsley.
We do lamb for Seder. 🙂
Duck with cherry star anise sauce. Duck with orange. Tea smoked duck. Ahh. Duck.
Looking fwd to adding duck confit to my pesach recipes
This looks delicious. We love corned beef on Pesach.
I love all meat. I ate duck for the first time at a wedding. Apricot glaze is perfect
There is a waterfall in my mouth just looking at the picture of the beautiful duck.
I like to cook lamb or a Delmonico roast
Looks amazing. Love Grow and Behold!
The idea of cooking the duck in its fat is kind of…ewww. Is it just me? I’m with Elsie on the lamb thing LOL
Thinking of making this for Sedar
While duck with apricot is sweet and delicious, I still have lamb as a special treat.
I love meat!
Duck confit is the best! And apricot is just an inspired pairing.
I love duck.
