Citrus Bacon and Kumquat Vinaigrette

Ingredients
Bacon, sliced thin 3 lbs
Brandy 1 pt.
Triple sec 1 cup
Orange zest 2 each
Orange juice 2 cups
Brown sugar 4 Tbsp
Red wine vinegar 2 Tbsp
Kumquat preserve 2 Tbsp
Baby spinach 1 lb.
Pulled roasted duck meat ½ lb
Sliced granny smith apple 1
Sliced mango 1/2

Directions

  1. In a heavy-duty sauté pan, render the bacon over medium heat. When bacon is crisp, drain off the fat and allow the bacon to cool.
  2. Deglaze the pan with the brandy and triple sec and flame the alcohol. Add the remaining ingredients and reduce until there is a perfect balance between sweetness and tartness; about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add crisp bacon and duck meat. Toss baby spinach, sliced Granny Smith apples and mango slices with the warm dressing and serve.
