Pan-searing the duck allows you to have an impressive-looking dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. You then cook the onion in the same skillet, while building a sauce with wine, blueberry preserves, and those delicious duck juices that have accumulated as it sits. Adding fresh thyme right before serving gives the dish an earthy, slightly bitter taste and provides freshness and a prettier presentation. You can try this recipe with other no-sugar-added preserves as well: Cherry and orange would also be excellent. Feel free to experiment with your favorite kinds.
