Our local [[Butchers|butchers]], Russell's of Upwell, make their own lovely treacly [[Bacon|bacon]], nice, thick fatty back bacon with a huge hit of [[Treacle|treacle]] and [[Molasses|molasses]].  They also produce fabulous [[Duck|duck]] breasts.  I thought a combination of the two, with the addition of a few extra flavours might be nice.

The results were fantastic, despite the long cooking time and the relatively high cooking temperature the duck was soft and tender and full of flavour.
