Preparation Salt the duck breasts all over and leave them aside to let them acquire taste. Wash the cherries well and remove their pips. Scald them in a pan then let them drain.

Heat the oil and butter in a pot and brown the meat. When it is brown all over, add the kirsch. Put the lid on and let it cook for about ten minutes on a medium heat. Then take the meat out of the pot and keep it hot.

Add the remaining butter to the pot then cook the cherries in the sauce for a couple of minutes, stirring them now and then.

Slice the duck breasts and serve them hot with the cherry sauce you have prepared.
