This recipe was inspired by heavily laden blackberry bushes in the yard, and the last of the fresh corn. The recipe is for two, but can easily be doubled for four.

Steps

1

Crush all marinade ingredients in mortar and pestle. Place breasts and marinade in sealable plastic bag for about 2 hours before grilling.
2

Mix all relish ingredients together and adjust to taste.
3

Grill the duck breasts. We grill the duck over a deadfall Madrona wood fire, but any grill, wood or other will do. Grilling time will depend upon size of breasts and preference. We grill to about 135º, flipping once midway through.
4

Slice the duck breasts and serve with the relish.
