Duck with fruits is an exquisite dish of Chinese cuisine that embodies a balance of sweetness and spiciness. The combination of citrus fruits, apples, and pineapple gives the meat an amazing tenderness and rich aroma. The origins of this recipe delve deep into the traditions of Chinese gastronomy, where the use of fruits in meat dishes highlights the harmony of flavors. Marinated in orange and lemon juice with honey and spices, the duck acquires a noble tartness, while white wine and glaze complete the flavor symphony. Baked to a golden crust, it becomes not just a dish but a work of art. It can be served with rice or vegetables, and festive presentation with glaze makes it the centerpiece of the table.
