If you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, why not make dinner at home to avoid the crowds and noise that you might encounter at a restaurant? Each year, I ask my husband what he would like, and it is often duck breast with a fruit sauce.

I can’t think of a better dish to serve than crispy duck breasts. Easy to prepare for a beginner cook, duck breasts are the best combination of a crispy duckling and the meatiness of a good steak. Duck breasts are quick to put together and much less messy than roasting a whole duck.
