Ingredients:

Procedure:
Melt butter in a sauce pan and sauté shallots for approx. 2 minutes (until transparent). Add port wine, Gran Marnier, and fresh orange juice and reduce for approximately 2 minutes.
Add demi-glace, and stir with a whisk till demi-glace is dissolved. Add water and simmer for approx. 2-3 minutes (until sauce begins to thicken). Stir sauce and return liquid to pan.
Add orange zest and simmer for approx. 2 minutes, then add the orange sections and serve over duck breasts.
Sauce is primarily to be served over duck whatever cut is preferred.
