You Will Need

* 1 duck breast
* one to two Tbsp red wine or sherry vinegar
* 2 tsp clear honey
* 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
* 16 black peppercorns
* Salt and pepper
* 1 medium-sized frying pan
* 1 smaller frying pan
* 1 pestle and mortar

Step 1:
Season the duck
Start by sprinkling salt and pepper onto the duck breast then turn it over and repeat on the other side to give a generous seasoning.
Step 2:
Begin to heat the frying pan
Put the duck into the medium-sized frying pan and place it over a low heat. The pan must be cold to begin with.
Step 3:
Slowly increase the heat
Gradually bring the heat up to a moderate temperature.
As the fat of the duck melts, spoon off the excess so that the meat doesn't get too saturated.
Step 4:
Cook for 10-12 minutes
The fat will take a further 10-12 minutes to render completely. However, if you prefer your meat medium-done then cook the duck for a following 5 minutes.
Step 5:
Turn the duck over and leave
Flip the breast over in the pan, turn off the heat and leave it for another 10 minutes.
Step 6:
Crush the peppercorns
Put the peppercorns in the mortar and crush them vigorously with the pestle. Aim for a fairly coarse powder.
Step 7:
Prepare the sauce
Take the smaller frying pan and pour in the red wine or sherry vinegar, followed by the clear honey and the whole grain mustard.
Stir well over a low to moderate heat.
Step 8:
Add the black pepper powder
As the mixture begins to heat, add the crushed black pepper.
Step 9:
Simmer for 2-3 minutes
Leave the sauce to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes which will enrich the taste.
Step 10:
Cover the duck in sauce and serve
Finally, place the duck onto a warm serving dish, drizzle the sauce over the top and serve.
