Help! Last minute xmas recipe needed!

[mouse_chalk]

I have been a silly billy and left it to the last minute LOL :embarrassed:

I'm cooking the dinner tomorrrow for 5 of us. We have roast beef and roast duck. Horseradish to go with the beef, but I need a sauce for the duck!! :shock:

I found an easy recipe for cranberry sauce with clementine juice but there are no cranberries to be had in the entire city. The fruit I have is blackberries, plums, apples....


What sauce can I make for the duck? Anyone got any ideas? I will love you forever!

In the meantime, I'm trawling the internet looking for something...:hugsquish:

Aah that sounds good! Sadly, the shops are shut now here and I don't have the apricot jam... Thanks though!

I did find this recipe though:

Which I'm thinking of trying. I was going to test it earlier but time got away from me, so now I think I'll just make it in the morning, and if it doesn't work then screw it we'll just have plain duck lol!

I'm also making bread sauce, yorkshire puddings and possible stuffing from scratch.... :?:shock:
