This is a good dish for an autumn dinner party when there is a glut of red plums. Butchers and supermarkets now sell duck joints; otherwise ask for 2 small to medium ducks to be cut in quarters.
Put the orange juice, water and mace into a large, heavy-based saucepan, season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Put in the joints of duck, cover the pan and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. Then remove the duck and pat dry with absorbent paper. Strain the liquid into another saucepan and keep on one side.
