Step by Step guide

Step 1

Finely chop the cabbage. In a deep sauté pan, melt the butter and sauté the cabbage, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes. Then add the cranberry juice, wine (200 ml), sugar, orange zest and juice, as well as vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and simmer on the lowest heat for about 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 390°F. Place the duck on a baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes. After that, surround the duck with plums, pour in the remaining wine, season with salt and pepper, and continue roasting for another 30–40 minutes until fully cooked.

Step 3

Serve the duck with plums and cabbage, drizzling with the sauce from the roasting pan. You can also reduce the sauce in a saucepan before serving until it thickens.
