Rich duck with black cherries and cherry liqueur – indulgent, fruity and beautifully balanced
Cornish Charcuterie's Duck Rillette with Black Cherry combines rich, slow-cooked duck with black cherries and cherry liqueur to create a luxurious variation on the traditional French rillette.
Made with 60.4% duck, the recipe allows the naturally rich flavour of the meat to take centre stage. Black cherries bring a gentle fruitiness and sweetness, while cherry liqueur adds another layer of depth. The result is a rillette where savoury richness and fruit work together rather than one overwhelming the other.
What does Duck Rillette with Black Cherry taste like?
Expect a deep, rich and savoury duck flavour, complemented by the subtle sweetness and fruitiness of black cherry.
The cherries provide contrast to the richness of the duck and duck fat, while the cherry liqueur intensifies the fruit character and gives the rillette a more rounded, indulgent finish.
It is richer and more pronounced than the Chicken Rillette, but the fruit gives it a noticeably different character from a traditional plain duck rillette.
Traditionally made in Cornwall
Cornish Charcuterie produces its pâtés and rillettes in Cornwall, drawing inspiration from traditional European charcuterie techniques.
Rillettes are made by slowly cooking meat until tender, creating their characteristic soft, rustic texture. Here, duck and duck fat form the heart of the recipe, with black cherries and cherry liqueur providing the distinctive twist.
With relatively few ingredients, it is a simple combination that allows the richness of the duck and sweetness of the fruit to do the work.
