Glazes for Smoked or Grilled Duck Breasts

Smoked duck breasts are amazingly good with just a little seasoning, but if you like the flavor of orange with duck—a classic combination, of course—soaking the uncooked breasts in orange-flavored brine and then glazing them with cooked-down orange juice will do the trick. (To make the brine, heat the mixture with some orange zest strips and cool before brining.) The teriyaki sauce also makes an excellent glaze, brushed on while the duck is smoking.
