I had never made Peking Duck before, but had promised my children we would have a Chinese-themed Christmas dinner. This recipe was simple, easy to follow and did not disappoint! I subbed out several ingredients to work with what I had on hand such as Garam Masala instead of Nutmeg and winged it on the dipping sauce, using apricot preserves, lots of pepper, roasted ginger, coriander, cloves and vinegar to make it - it was delicious! I served this duck with homemade Mandarin pancakes and our additions were a garlic paste made of oil and garlic, kimchi, julienned green onions and the apricot sauce. We served this along side of garlicky baby bok choy. It was a delicious Christmas dinner! Thank you for a great recipe!
