This was a lovely dish. I think my friends are betting rhubarbed out but I had to try this. The sauce for the duck was gorgeous. I loved the relish! I can see using it for other meats as well. I served this with some basamati rice and aspagagus. This is a keeper that I know I will use again (at least the duck and sauce) Thanks!
