Get the Fresh Duck and Cherry Sausage Recipe<\/h1>\n

This sausage has all the components of a great duck dish. Ground duck can be very wet depending upon how much skin was ground up with it. This is why I add Parmigiano to the mix. You may add some panko breadcrumbs if it is even wetter. The sweetness of the cherries is juxtaposed by the luscious duck and is elevated by the lemon zest and nuanced cumin. This sausage is great with Pecorino, Asiago, Ricotta, Chevre, Brie and even\u2026 more fresh cherries!<\/p>\n
