1. Cut the skin side of the cleaned duck breasts into a diamond shape and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides and fry in hot clarified butter in a coated pan - first on the skin side, then on the meat side - and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, cut the onions, apple, orange and garlic into pieces and spread them with a little parsley on a baking sheet and pour some water and 100 ml poultry stock from the glass and place the seared duck breasts on top. Cook in the preheated oven at 160 ° C on the second rack from the bottom for about 1 hour.
3. For the salt and honey crust:

5. For the sauce:
6. Scoop a few tablespoons of the gravy out of the baking sheet and strain it through a sieve and bring the remaining 100 ml poultry stock from the glass to the boil with vegetable stock and mix the cold cream with the cornstarch and pour into the hot stock and briefly bring to the boil.
