Duck sauce is a condiment used for dipping or drizzing on various foods - it's not just for duck. It has a fruity base - often apricots or plums, but other fruits can be used as well. It's frequently served in NYC Chinese restaurants, and over the years I've found that nothing comes quite close to the NYC style sauce. Therr are, of course, many recipes and techniques for making this condiment, although over the years I've seen many recipes that have tried to get fancy or nouvelle with it, and while they may be good, I'm more interested in the more typical flavors found in the NYC restaurants.
