Duck Breast with a Blueberry Port Sauce

6 duck breast (skin on)
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Blueberry Port Sauce;
2 cups blueberries
1 cup port wine (I used a Late Bottled Vintage, as it was a little sweeter)
1 tbsp Apricot jelly
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
1 tbsp Honey

1. Duck Breast: Score the duck breast fat in a criss cross fashion.

2. To Cook: Place a large frying pan over a moderate-high heat. Season the duck breast with salt and pepper, being sure to rub plenty of salt into the scored fat. Place the duck breast in the hot frying pan fat side down. Cook the breast for 3-4 minutes on the skin side, then turn them over and cook them for a further 4-5 minutes (a little longer if you like the meat well cooked). Remove the duck breast from the heat and allow them to rest in a warm place for 3-5 minutes before serving.

3. Blueberry Port Sauce: Place half the blueberries in a saucepan with the port and jelly. Place the pan over a high heat and leave to simmer for 8-10 minutes until it reduces to a thin sauce consistency. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Dijon mustard and the remaining blueberries. Keep the sauce hot until ready to serve.

4. To Serve: Place the duck breast on serving plates, pour the blueberry and port sauce around the breast.

I served this with Pan roasted potatoes and carrots, and balsamic braised Bok Choy.
I kept both side dishes with basic seasoning (Salt and pepper); but I drizzled a nice Balsamic Vinegar over the  halved Bok Choy, then in a small roasting dish I cooked it in the oven at 425 till it was fork tender (about 15-20 minutes depending on how big they are.)

Tips
Caution;
Duck is easily overdone, so monitor the internal temp to arrive at 140 (remembering that as it rests it will continue to cook some.)
