A kiwifruit grower told me that kiwifruits are ripe when
they're "soft as a baby's bottom." When they're underripe, they taste like something between a lemon and a crabapple. If your kiwifruit is hard when you bring it home, give it a couple of days to ripen on your kitchen counter.
This recipe assumes you are working with a whole duck. If you are fortunate enough to be able to purchase parts, even better! If duck legs not available, use additional Breast meat. This is a classic dish, complex and flavorful-Nonetheless it takes only a few minutes to prepare. It has become a family Holiday favorite.
