- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp dried thyme

Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the duck breasts for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the duck reaches your desired level of doneness.
- While the duck is cooking, mix the cherry jam and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the glaze for 5 minutes or until thickened.
- Remove the duck from the oven and brush with the cherry-balsamic glaze.
- Let the duck rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with mixed greens.
