Blood Orange Paste

Image
I had this idea about serving my  Duckcetta  as an appetizer but needed an appropriate canvas. When you make something as good as this your want to showcase it in many different ways. I have already made Pasta Carbonara   and a few others but now I needed to serve it as an appetizer. I came up with the idea for Blood Orange Paste because I knew that Orange pairs well with Duck. Oh Blood Orange Paste just sounds cool too. I made this other dish called "Duck a la me"  aka  Salami Duck à l'orange Fettuccine   and it came out so good that I just knew I had to pair my Duckcetta with Orange.  Ingredients  3 Blood Oranges 1 cup of Orange Juice (Blood Orange juice is preferred) 1/2 tsp of salt 2 cups of Sugar (or other sweetener such as Agave to taste) 1/2 tsp of Xanthan Gum Optional- add some red food coloring if you really want this bright red.I did not add any coloring. Cut into wedges Squeeze as much juice out into a  sauce pan Add
