Ingredients:
4 (5 ounce) duck breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste

2) Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high; add duck breasts and cook until lightly browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip breasts over; place skillet in oven and roast 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside to rest 3 minutes before slicing.
3) Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Combine port, juice, and sugar in a medium pot; bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until sauce thickens and reduces by about one-quarter, about 5 minutes. Add butter and whisk until melted.
4) Spoon sauce over sliced breasts to serve.
